"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Imagine in your mid thirties and living the life. Plates that you have to work your schedule around and trying to keep it sane. A new plate comes in and is way below 30, decent career path and ambition.

Maybe time to go into another LTR, but dropping plates is not easy :(
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

That's a question you need to answer yourself, after you consider your long term goals.

If you're 25 or older, the time has come to start speaking and acting like an intellectually sound and psychologically mature MAN. I.E. Not blindly regurgitating Manosphere buzzwords and euphemisms(Plates, Pills of whichever color.... Don't even get me started on all this Gynocentrism nonsense)like an automaton, and instead communicating in lucid, coherent sentences

Ex. "I just met this girl, who I think may be worthy of going exclusive with. How do I decide if this is wise to do?"

Way below 30 is good. Career oriented and ambitious is good in the workplace but not good in an extended relationship.

Remain non-exclusive with this one.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

So long as a fella isn't on the pay roll of a Chao Pho in Bangkok




And the gal he has his eye on isn't CONSIDERABLY younger than 30

I’ve noticed that you have such a negative perspective.
Take it from this forum that no one respects your opinions. Time to shift that my man

Stick to your plates. A chick with a "decent career path" and "ambition" sounds like a boss b1tch.
Only dudes that don't want to go anywhere in life date other people with no ambition.

If you want to date someone who is happy living in a trailer park then more power to you. I can't be around people who are OK with being mediocre in life

I’ve dated a model for a year, no ambition. I took care of everything like writing her resume. Best sex I’ve ever had, but it wasn’t worth the added nuances

Cost of living, a thousand square-foot condo is nearly $1M

This is a bad idea.

You will make yourself dependend of HER income, she will demand things, you will loose frame, she will loose respect, you will not be able to walk away easy due to shared invest.......

Move to a cheaper place, get a cute cashier or hairdresser thats compliant at least and obediant at best.
Your life is going to be so much easier than with a boss bytch thats invested in your home.

YOUR home, YOUR rules, YOUR way or the highway.

Marrying for money is modern day indentured servitude. It is beyond terrible rationale. Maybe it sounds good at first. Then before you know it kids are in the picture or you’ve made decisions for your future that are against good personal judgment for one’s own needs furthering dependency on the situation. If it goes south, the climb out is going to be miserable, expensive, take a toll like one can’t even imagine and create more damage than was ever thought possible. The court system is so rigged for the wealthy it’s hard to imagine. Trust fund brats getting the residence, alimony, custody, credit usage, it just is so bad. Marrying for the sake of money is not worth it at all. Under any circumstances.

It's very similar to incorporating strangulation into foreplay. Exhilarating as this all sounds in theory, life become unduly complicated when the b-tch croaks on you, after things get entirely too passionate. Having to then undertake a crash course in dismemberment and destroying all forensic evidence that could lead to your spending some quality time with The Booty Warrior, in Pelican Bay's showers



Isn't a walk in the park :eek: o_O

What I said could have been taken out of context. I will never depend on my partner’s income, nor share my living space.
If I’m prospecting for long-term, she will need to plan to live here 3 years - not just an emergency fund.
No service workers can survive living here for an extended period. They often settle in co-living because dual incomes are needed.
Ambition is what I’m after from a chick in her 20’s, although rare. I’ve met a few and that is what I found very attractive.

It depends on what your definition of ambition is. Of course no one wants to be with trailer park trash. But that's not really what we're talking about here.

The real danger to settling down with a career-oriented woman is that her prerogative is climbing a corporate ladder rather than building a home with her spouse. Ambition, in the case of OP refers to prioritizing career over everything else. The opposite of that isn't trailer park trash. I mean...i guess you can argue that a woman can have "ambition" to be a good wife and mother but that's just semantics at this point.

Only dudes that don't want to go anywhere in life date other people with no ambition.
I'll have to disagree here. But then again, it depends on what exactly you mean by ambition. Sure, a girl can have a regular career and work until she's pregnant and then stay home, but "career-oriented" and "ambitious" in the same sentence would have one assume she's all about getting ahead in the social and financial hierarchy through her own means.

High ambition is a masculine trait...and if you disagree, tell us why. And what's the general rule of the dichotomy of the masculine and feminine? Most likely there will be clashes in personality and in the long run, it's probably not too sustainable. A highly ambitious man with his wife as his secretary works very well because they complement eachother. A highly ambitious man and a highly ambitious woman both going for CEO roles wouldn't bring much to the table to eachother romantically, and also, it's not an ideal setup for starting and building a family.

So no...men don't want to marry trailer park hoes. They just want to marry complementary subservient women that can focus on the home while the men focus on the conquering.
