"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.

.... when you aren't 'gaming' a girl, I mean when you genuinely don't care one way or another about what happens, you can break all of the 'rules' of game and still have them lusting after you like crazy.

If there's a girl I want to like me I will implement at least the basic tenets of game, but there are some girls who are so clearly into me that I will, just for fun, break all the rules and say the most random, ridiculous stuff imaginable. Admittedly, sometimes when I'm telling them how much I like them or how pretty they are, I'll sometimes start laughing. It just becomes about me entertaining myself, more than any attempt to get anywhere with them.

I'm not even trying to be deliberately cruel, it's just funny as hell sometimes as well as alarming to act like a complete jerk and see them get more and more into you. It's disappointing actually and just makes me more cynical.

I think I was telling some very liberal girl the other day (who is into me) how I supported apartheid (I don't support it at all, I just wanted to see how far I could push it). Clearly what I was saying was abhorrent to her, and rightfully so, but it wasn't enough to make her attraction turn to disgust. This s*** is unbelievable to me.
 

"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.

I have dated a few girls that I wasn't really very interested in, and they ended up really liking me, I mostly adopt the same attitude if I'm really interested in one. When you put her on a pedestal because she is hot and you act different, she will often lose interest. I'm not mean or cruel to the ones I don't really like, I just say what I want without worrying about it. So far so good with this strategy.

Well once I texted my ex when she was at work "Babe, I pooped in the sink." She calls me saying "what?"

I then made up a story about how it was an emergency poop, and the kitchen sink is half way to the bathroom, so I just went in the sink.

She then asks "Well why don't you clean it up?" I said "Because, its gross, can't you do it when you get home?" She said "fine."

She came home, goes straight to the sink, and I'm like :crackup: :moon: .

"you seriously believed me?" her "yeah." me "you were going to clean my sh!t out of the sink?" her "yeah." me "wow." :crazy:

A woman that has high interest in you, will move mountains, and clean up your poop.

I don't even know what to say to this. Mind blowing.

Because not giving a f*** is like catnip to vagin@s, and girls stick to self belief like sh*t sticks to a picnic blanket. It should be the first thing a father teaches his son, yet here I am in my late 30s only just getting it.
 

"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.

Because attraction trumps all. You can give her mom a Cleveland Steamer on Xmas day, and she'll think it's cute and sassy if she digs you.

There's a lot of truth in this. It defies all logic, but women seem to go for guys who aren't interested in them, or are maybe a LITTLE interested but not enough to lose sleep over it.

Trying to maintain an air of cool detachment around a woman you really like is not easy, it's completely unnatural, but in most cases it's probably your best strategy. Take it from someone who's driven away plenty of women by being too interested, and attracted plenty of others by hardly being interested at all.
