"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.
'Why Men Marry *****es' or whatever it's called

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

The message is pretty straightforward: it basically says that men do not want overly jealous, insecure, needy emotional vampires who have no life of their own except yours. They want women who are confident in themselves, have a life of their own that they want to share with you, not jealous, needy or insecure. It instructs women on how to become women worth pursuing, not women that you have to peel off of you in order to get rid of them.
Not too far off from what you find here, really. Only geared for women. Confident women are just as appealing as confident men, wouldn't you say?
"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.

:yes: I've seen women who were *****es just about everyone except thier guy because they saw him as valuable. It was like night and day when the guy was with them or not.Mavrick said:A woman is a b1tch to a man when she sees herself as better than her mate. Once he has placed more value on her and her actions instead on his self, they become an abusive b1tch who believes they're doing the man a favor by being with him.

Well, yes and no. The worst kind of bit*ch/woman is a liberated one, who thinks that Females are Superior to males, and is ****y. Those kind of women, I take a great, great joy out of reminding them that they are the weaker sex, and they are the ones who bleed once a month, get impregnated by males, and get buggered on occasion.IPalindromeI said:In the book, the b*tch part stands for : Babe in total control of herself. Not - an angry woman looking to cut your b*lls off and put them in her purse.

Jealous, needy or insecure? If she looks like a sexy woman, worships the ground I walk on, and brings me beer? Well, I am not going to complain. I need a woman to never, ever walk in front of me, and behind me is bad too. I want one walking at my side.

I couldn't handle jealous, needy or insecure. I'm thinking of extremes though: The type of women I think of when I think of that is one that blows your phone up with 50 calls on your cell phone when you have it turned off or in your car and you are out with your friends, and cries and accuses you of cheating on her when you finally answer because you didn't answer your phone before. Or worse yet, one who cries and threatens to end your relationship because she caught you rubbing one off and sees that as a form of cheating "because she is certain you are thinking of other girls when you do it". I don't care how hot she is or how much beer she serves up - that sort of "poor me" nonsense won't do.
Those types of behaviors are ones that they try to steer women away from.
Now that makes sense. That is more in line with what that book tries to teach women. You can't walk along side someone if you aren't strong enough to do so. It teaches that strength, not the man-bashing stuff that passes for strength.I want one walking at my side.
