"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.

Mate, my IBS-C is mostly an effect of very long and twisted colons (which is hereditary) and having good person as a partner (meaning understanding) actually lessens symptoms to minimum (because you are not that stressed around her). So its not a 'broken ashl' 'lol'. It Has nothing to do with that.

IBS actually affects high IQ/high EQ persons (my boss have it as well and he could give you enough money to make you spread your as.scheeks for prison train willingly).

So its more about meeting a woman that understands you're a plasma cannon made of glass rather than just 'sick' (because that's what dumber ladies think/know about it).
I am sure it's a battle dude. Dating ladies is hard enough.. I can only imagine what you dudes go through.
 

"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.

Just spent a few hours with a good friend, and I still just cannot believe the situation. Certainly makes me wonder if some ladies even have empathy at all. They were together for nine years, married for four of them. She knew well in advance of marriage, that he had some chronic illnesses. He had a few herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, irritable bowel syndrome and suffers from chronic migraines. Yet, looking at him, you'd never know he's in a lot of pain. Always seemed to make good money, no financial issues, took care of her when she had some medical issues, etc. He even said, she told him after he disclosed this info to her so she had an out that she'd never leave him. I guess the last year or so has been rough on him medical wise. He said he's had more flareups, and he would just retreat into the bedroom until it passes. She moved into the guest bedroom and yes, you guessed it, sex slowed. They stopped trying for kids, and she even made him wear condoms when the times she was intimate with him. She said she cannot be with him anymore as it hurts her too much to see him in pain and wants a divorce. The guy is in shambles.

I still cannot believe what I heard. What's the point of marriage if you cannot count on the person to have your back when your at your low point in life?
That's hypergamy at work, there's no need to be upset or wondering why.

Leaving a dude because he has some pain isn't hypergamy dude if he's high on LMS.
you said:

She feels (Consciously or subconsciously) that the man she is with is not strong and healthy, so she doesn't want to carry his eventual offsprings. That's primal instinct hardwired in her brain.

She said she cannot be with him anymore as it hurts her too much to see him in pain and wants a divorce.
she's covertly saying that she doesn't want to be in a relationship with him anymore

Everything she's doing is in the optics of solipsism

"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.

I'd say its hypergamy because:
- 89% of women perceive it as low level disability (which is enough to miss on hotter chicks)
- 10% of woman are okay with that as they are affected by IBS (but only to the point, even if woman has IBS she is still lookng for higher LMS partner).
- 1% of women (unicorns) should be ok with that.
Just curious, how have the ladies you've dated acted with your issues?
