"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.

nah i'm not gay if that's what you are wondering, it's just i'm ok with a girl and then we start talking and i lose interest in her, for example i was in the internet today and i was talking to this girl i chat sometimes and i asked her for a coffee a couple times and she refused saying she wanted to wait a little longer, that she doesnt trust men bla bla bla, the same ****ty convo im tired of hearing time and time again. today i insisted and surprinsingly she accepted, i asked for her phone number and she gave me too, but then i started thinking of things she said like she has lots of friends which she sees as brothers, she cant help but feeling nothing for them except friendship, etc etc... i mean im tired of this cliches and i told her: i changed my mind, i dont think we have that much in common, and she became wtf, arent u interested in me? my answer was blocking her...

am i losing my social skills... it seems i prefer being alone than with a girl nowadays :(
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

A lot of people(not just girls) are just ****in' bubble heads these days. It's what I find tough. I've set up a standard that a girl must not read Cosmo. Filters off most of the idiots. You just got to keep looking for that one that lights you up. Namean?

Shut up midget, this is a tall person thread.
 

"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.

Yeah, I get that a lot as well. It's hard to find a girl that isn't annoying, and when they are, no matter how hot or "skilled" they are, the physical aspect isn't as good. From experience, all of the girls which I thought I hated before I got to know, well, they are the ones that turn out awesome. The emotion is more intense or something. I don't know. Anyway, they are out there.

Yep, nothing wrong with being selective. It's good to be laid-back sometimes, but i think most people are better off going for what they really want in life...especially with women.
 

"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.

It just seems like you're maturing.

You're starting to see beyond appearance, and not making your life complicated by going out with a headcase.

I wouldn't really worry about it man.

It's not a bad thing.

You'll find maybe 2/10 women you meet (especially around my age -- 20) are worth going out with. I also tend to go older. just find them better overall.

Ugh, Yes I agree with this. When I was in my teens and ealry 20s I thought wow, girls girls girls! As I kept dating each one and interacting with more women in their 20s.. I soon found how false it was that women were really smarter than men! Finding a REAL woman who is assertive and comfortable with herself is VERY hard, and let me tell you the truth. Most of these women are MARRIED,, YES MARRIED by before they hit their late 20s. It's not because they were pushing to get married or rushing it, but you will know hen you meet these type of girls who married by their mid 20s that they're the kinda girls that GUYS WANT to hang around because of their great personality not because of their appearance.

If you want to date a girl, Go for the golden years!!! 21-25 before they start turning into sex-and the city/cosmo freaks.

Why 21-25? GIrls under 21 are morons, still teenies. And girls over 25 are becoming the greater "left overs" by men who didn't really want them, and they become more bitter and bitter as the years pass by.

very true, but at the same time, if you area a rare real man, you shouldn't worry about it too much.

but yeah, maybe i am picky, but girls that really truly excite me and very very rare. Maybe like one-two out of a 100 HBs (7.5-10)

I agree. Theres nothing wrong with having standards and knowing what youre looking for. Be patient, talk to lots of girls and youll find some you like.
