Why do girls spill their guts to me?

Trust is a powerful thing, and sometimes all it takes to get out of the friend zone is playing a game of, "When you gonna let me tap that?"

I love that game, those 7 words have worked almost every day for the past 3 weeks*.

*Results not typical, actual attempts may not be met with the same success
 
Girl's guts are either about to spill, are spilling or have just spilled (sometimes all three at the same time). If you're around a girl and she's not spilling her guts you're either lying or she's not really a girl.
 
Last I checked I dont have a neon sign on my face saying Im the proverbial shoulder to cry on...:rollno:

How did this happen in the first place, and how do I stop it?

Any other guys / gals around here the proverbial shoulder?

Get your number here.:scowl:

Why? Because you let them. The next time some girl tries to cry on your shoulder tell them 'Meh, Im not really interested in your problems' and walk away. You'll probably get laid 5 minutes later.

I stopped dealing with girls like that a while back. My sex appeal went up by 15 HP! After I stopped caring all the girls I used to feign for wanted to do me, only I was already with a hot chick who didnt cry to me about her problems.
 
Nothing wrong with what has happened. In fact you can fix it. Be nice to the girls and remain a good guy, but don't always be there, and show interest in other girls, and ask advice on other girls from them. Butter these girls up by saying little sweet things towards to other girl you are supposedly 'pursuing' but don't over do it, and always, always walk away or hang up on one of these other 'friends' on your own time. You keep control and be a man in these conversations. After a week or so just cut these girls off, but if you see them in person say hi and act excited to see them, but way too busy to stop and talk. Give it a month or two and they'll be back and more often than not they'll be interested in you so take advantage of that. Of course this method takes some time but it keeps a lot of girls on the backburner and can actually give you some real girl friends if you want it to too.

This actually works. I have proof. Chicks love the guy they can't have and will almost anything to get his attention. It's actually how I got my wife. She was seeing me and one other guy at the same time. She was seeing this dude in Nashville, where she lived at the time, and seeing me. I was living here in Columbus, Ohio. I was always the sweet, sensitive guy that listened to her and heard all her bitching and moaning about life. The other dude was her boss and totally did this play boy bad boy "act" towards her. One day I caught on to what was going on and totally flipped the tables on her. I started making her feel like she was just something to pass the time, not a real girlfriend. I let her know that there were more pressing matters in my life than driving 6 hours every other weekend and that if she left me alone I could play more music in my home town instead of spending it with her. She developed a whole new respect for me and started pursuing me even harder, totally forgetting about the other dude. Less than a year later we were married. I still give her the bad boy treatment every once in a while just to keep the flame burning.:D

You gotta! It doesnt take much.

Her: "Blah, blah, blah, all this stuff I wanna talk about but don't want to hear a logical solution for, blah blah blah"
Me: *plays video game on cell phone*
Her: Are you even listening?
Me: Of course, you were saying?
Her: "More blah blah blah"
Me: *playing video game*
Me: "I'm hungry"
Her: "Let me go make you a sandwich"
Me: "Thanks babe, youre the best."
