"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

guy, i got 3 months almost totally free. I've been doing the where to start workout but i was wondering if there was anything essentially better? Like 6 day workouts or whatever, i'll go back to the 3 day split once uni starts up but for now i want to go hardcore weights/cardio get a 6 pack and all the rest/eat right. so if anyone has a workout that needs lots of time but will give amazing results over 3 months it'd be great.
 

"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.

This right here is an example of where most people will fail. Your on a good routine now probably making steady progress (if your not then you need to make a thread showing exactly what your doing, warm ups, diet, how long you've been doing it, since you should be progressing) but feel like theres more you need to do to take it to the next level. So you'll jump on some other crazy program and end up stalling out.

Channel that energy of wanting to go hardcore into your diet instead. That energy will then show itself in the form of not missing a single meal, measuring food to be exact, eating at the times your supposed to eat, recording down your food for the day, having meals prepared ahead of time, getting all water and supps down, doing the samething everyday so by the end of the week you know what changes to make. Do this and you'll be doing yourself a favor.

Great post that Quag already quoted
awesome, awesome post.

I can't get over why people think more is better. no wait - I can. I used to as well. :D college breaks would come around and I'd go on a 6day split and end up worse off than before. ;)

int3l I would use the extra time to do practical things, learn to cook, learn some new recipes to help your food get down better, organise yourself and your studies, do some reading/research, socialise, get the stress levels down (you are doing an intensive college course if I remember rightly), have some fun.. doesn't matter whether you do nothing all week or work 5-6 days, YOUR GYM ROUTINE SHOULD NOT CHANGE*.

*in 99% of cases.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
