I'm convinced this entire thread is a bad-takeout-induced hallucination.
"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.
Where do us great guys find women like you guys?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

I dont think the problem is so much finding them. I think succesfully pulling them and keeping them around for the long term is the hard part. But what do I know in comparison to our high quality fermale members.

I'm impressed, my son. You didn't leave a it's over for SomethingCels lame ass comment on my thread. I throw temper tantrums like a high maintenance brat when I see you post them. I swear to God. It makes me think you're nothing but a silly goose.

Damn, I got a wrong impression of you. Your "religion from god" is from the devil. You act like a woman and are not even ashamed of it.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

People commonly put up a front on the internet and women, even when well-intentioned, tend to give bad dating advice.

Honestly they can be anywhere. You need a set of characteristics you look for and screen for. And you need to figure out where your target woman might be found.
You’ll need to create in yourself a man worthy of the attracting the kind of woman you’d like to meet. That’s not news and you should be well aware of that. If you are currently invisible to the type of woman you want to meet then changing that is task #1. You need to be brutally honest with yourself about that.
My guy turns heads everywhere we go. His looks, his attitude, his swagger. Women flirt with him on social media, compliment him in person, and seek him out. Are you getting this kind of notice from women? If not why not? You need to remedy this first.
If you do get attention from women then you need to determine/screen whether or not these women are the type (have the characteristics you want)….
So what seems to be stopping you?

There are good women out there still, but a website for men about women probably isn't the best place to meet them.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist even though you are responding to an obvious troll. Women are so predictable

ya’ll getting messed with by probably one of our regular denizens…
The OP’s posts are like the hand book of cringe.
Someone might’ve just baited a hook for our two most outspoken female posters is another possibility…

AWALT much more so than AMALT. The greater genetic diversity in men is why they hold 85% of the genius-level IQs despite the average intelligence levels between the genders being roughly equal. This is the main reason why they run things (more so than physical strength, stoicism or lack of pregnancy).
I'm not convinced OP is a troll. Canadians can be a funny bunch. DB is out there in Winnipeg, the most isolated and coldest city in North America. It's basically a polar research station that happens to have women.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
