"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 does the woman go after a breakup, when she was living with the man?

The general choices are.

-She moves back in with her parents.
-She opens a new apartment.
-She moves in with other female friends.
-She moves in with her guy friend(s).
-She moves in with a boyfriend-girlfriend couple.
-She continues living with the ex, and are "just friends" or "just roommates..."

Of course, all of the above I'm sure have happened, but what are the most common and does anyone have any specific stories they want to share?

I generally like the idea of women having their own apartment. But what if they don't want to, but still don't want to live with her parents?
 

"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.

Nowhere, if this broad and the dude are married. She ends up with the house, and he'll be sleeping on the sidewalk

If married, she goes nowhere. It's typically the man who moves out.

If an unmarried cohabiting couple breaks up, it's less clear what happens.

If the man is a homeowner and the woman's name wasn't on the deed, the woman will move out and get her own place. She's typically renting for a period, with or without a roommate.

If the couple was renting, they might time their breakup to the end of the lease and both move on. If the breakup occurs mid-lease, it gets more complicated.

 

"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.

Lesson here: Avoid impregnating women hailing from South Texas and surnamed Sawyer, lest we enable the creation of an army of Leatherfaces
