"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.

D!ck wagging aside, any guy would be pissed if their date from POF was 10 pounds heavier than her picture. She had a preference and the guy BS'd her.

What's with the double standard? She stated what she liked and the guy lied. Why shouldn't she be irritated?

If I ask for cheese on my whopper and I don't get it...I'm sending the motherfu<ker back.
 

"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.

While I agree with you, you have to know that the above happens more than not. Online dating is a wasteland.

That's why you always ask for her to take a pic of herself from head to toe before your date (and you do the same). You tell her this is to keep things honest bla bla lba
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hotornot, I usually pull around a 9 or so as well, so my looks not much of a problem.
Unless you're ugly, everyone pulls an 8 or 9 on hotornot. Really, you can stick up damn near any picture and get that. You can even leave out your face.
