"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"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.

What you describe is certainly not my experience...Women are hard wired to reject,the weak,infirm,handicapped,rejected...In this they are as vicious as any Wolf,who will turn on a badly injured comrade in some fight,and tear him to pieces...They are engined and gunned for one thing only,to raise the strongest offspring!

No, right around my age at the time, 23-24ish.timmylivingalie said:
This was 30 years ago. I did wonder if changes in the dating scene would have any effect. The biggest difference between then and now is the percentage of obese girls. There are so many fat women now that it has driven up the value of girl with decent figures. Apparently I'm still attracting girls in their 20s though, I'm somewhat surprised to say.Jitterbug said:
Well, my memory's a little fuzzy, it's been awhile. I recall ending it with one of the girls because she wasn't my type. I think we just drifted apart as we moved on to other people. You know how young people are. None of these were any of the great loves of my life by any stretch.Warrior 74 said:
That would be my expectation as well. However, I find that in the real world, people don't act quite so rigidly as their theoretical stereotypes.Scaramouche said:

Still, I'm going to test that tactic. Tomorrow I'm going to whine about Zekko's love life to several women. I'll report back my findings.
