"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.

Would you/have you had sex with a girl that your friend had previously had sex with?

Surprisingly, this has come up a couple times in my life. Frankly, it weirds me out. I live in a very small town and I'm friends with someone who's spent the past several years sleeping with half of the women in it. So far I've turned down three girls almost specifically because he's had sex with them in the past.

Has anyone else ever experienced this? To me, at the very least, it kills a chance of an actual relationship with the girl. If she were attractive enough, I might go for just the sex...and definitely wear a condom.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Uh, yeah. A few times.

Just try not to think about it when you're going down on her...

Meh, never bothered me. Worried you won't be as good as your friend? Or that you are sleeping with him by proxy, and that's a bit too gay?

Exes of friends are off limits to me.

This is a minefield. And a good way to lose friends. Don´t listen to what they say, no matter if they split up years ago or in a huge fight - just don´t do it.

It it´s not an ex but strictly a one night stand - why not.

Not exes, just former hookups/**** buddies/one night stands. The thought of it just grosses me out for some reason. What I usually do is simply never ask about a girl's past - however, I still seem to find out if they've had sex with this guy. It's to the point now where I'm suspicious of every girl I meet - have they had sex with that guy?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

If either of you both conceptualize it as competition, don't do it.

If done with camaraderie - like soldiers visiting a brothel - do it and high five him later.

Picture Animal Mother, Eightball and Miss "she give you numbah-one fookkee" from Full Metal Jacket.
