"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.

Yeah. I don't want to malign all women based on the actions of one. She had serious issues that went way beyond jealousy. I stuck it out with her longer than necessary.

The girl I'm with now, for example, is 100% supportive of my pursuits and gives me space to do my thing. My frame is definitely a lot better, too, but I think it helps to be more careful when screening. We've been dating 1.5 years and I can't remember a single disagreement we've had. By now I can tell it's just her nature to be chill.
It must certainly isn't ALL women but many are operating in this way.
 

"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.

She has disgraced the Pippen name more than Scottie getting a DUI or refusing to re-enter that playoff game in 1994.
True! Getting cheated on like that tends to make the world think there was a problem with the man or that he can't satisfy her.

Larsa cheated on Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen and Larsa first got together during Scottie Pippen's playing career. They married in 1997. She was 23 when they got married, so they probably first started dating when she was 21. Larsa cheating on Scottie didn't get revealed until long after Scottie had retired from the NBA. She probably didn't start cheating on him until his playing career was long over.

Credit to Scottie Pippen for not getting fat as a retired player.

Tim Duncan played in the NBA from 1997-2016. In 2013, it was revealed his wife Amy was cheating on him. She didn't even wait until he was a less exciting retired player to start cheating. There are also rumors Duncan had sex with one of Amy's friends.

Both Pippen and Duncan made a lot of money. They are in the top fraction of 1% of lifetime income earners and they both experienced infidelity. Most NBA players also have larger than average penis sizes too.

Why go for the archaic traditional setup of marriage , yet forgo the archaic traditional acceptance of the husband's name? I think it's a sign of someone that's not really totally invested and will probably have one foot out the door. I don't particularly care about the name but it is odd that they want to have their cake and eat it too
Women like to do feminism when it is convenient for them. Women keeping their maiden name in marriage is not all that common. Regardless of the cultural associations with this practice, it would be more convenient for women to keep their maiden names since the majority of marriages end in divorce anyway. Keeping a maiden name would prevent a divorced woman from being saddled with an ex-husband's name. That's a practical argument for it.

So the women get with athletes because they think they are easily manipulated and have alot of money. So it comes to no surprise that they cheat when his career is over.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
