"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.

When i was younger i would play around 8 hours a day CS 1.6.
Luckly, my parents took my pc away and was able to grow out of it.
Now, 3 years after whenever a friend comes to my house my first insticnt is to say:"Lets go outside".
 

"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.

Games shouldn't be seen as a negative; unless it's in extreme circumstances (ie, you start missing lectures/work/whatever for a game, you start screwing up your sleeping patterns, etc etc).

It all comes down to balance. Sure, go play games, but dont spend every breathing hour of every day dedicated to a game (unless someone's paying you to play it).

It's also funny how the article likes to focus on the negatives that games bring.

Remember there are other things in life that are even more addictive and more destructive than games! (girls for one)

I do not take credit for this Article, it was written by Mary Schlimme

I stopped reading after that.
