"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.
Who are your role models?
- Thread starter Michael Chief
- Start date
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"whats up? 1....2....3.... whats up?"
damn funny..
i think technically, chris kattan's character is probably slightly more "dj" but they are both bumbling AFC's...
great movie..
very hard to have a character for a role model i think.. and i really don't know whats the deal with all the anime/games guys..
the character i enjoyed watching most was mel gibson in lethal weapon 1. best display of the "don't give a ****" attitude that i've seen..
also, i was watching a bit of "a clockwork orange" this afternoon. and the lead guy in that is pretty smooth.
In life though, its hard to look past whatever team you most supports star player isn't it? and probably even more so, just the best player in your favourite sport.
"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.
My only idol is my dad. Sure, there's plenty of cool people that can make me laugh, kick ass, look like a badass, but the only person I would want to be like is my dad.

i cant belive no one has mentioned a true don juan,
Johnny Depp
, he is awesome"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

You need to stop taking things so seriously. I'm being really light here, told you who I think is cool, not who I exactly want to be like (since they are fictional).
Real role models?
- My DAD; he's totally badass with crazy backbone, courage to take on anything, and will do anything for our family. He's also built and has the best taste in everything. Also managed to hook up with the hottest girl back then, who's now my mom. My dad pwnz. Total Alpha. He's the most respectable man I've ever seen.
- My UNCLE; age 39 and not married, doesn't believe in marriage. He's dating over 30 girls right now. A total pimp. He's got the craziest game EVER. But that's not what makes me want to be like him, it's the fact that he has amazing confidence. He's a pilot, and 15 years he suffered a real crazy accident which left his arm and the top of his head completely burnt / deformed; but that didn't slow him down and doesn't slow him down today. He's one of the most respectable man in the city.
My goal is to be better than both of them.

My fault, I apparently mis-read the thread's title. Apparently "role models" is pronounced "fictional video game people I think are cool".
Definitely, he's one of my role models. he's too cool for words... :woo:Originally posted by FriendlyFriend

Bruce Lee is another.
And the last one is me! i'm aiming to be a more confident/assertive/laid back type of guy, altho change doesnt happen overnight, im aiming towards it.
In a real sense, myself, and Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods, not because he'd be the first billion dollar athlete, and not because he's solely responsible for changing golf and making it "cool", but because he has no yard stick. His role models are his parents and the greats of the game are only a goal to beat. If he had role models, he'd have limitations. He's constantly getting better, he gives his best, and never measures that by what other people think or have done.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I bear many, many similarities to Jesus Christ.

Oh, please... you know I'm your role model. Me and Jesus.
