"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.

Over the summer I started lifting weights as much as i could. I tried to keep on a strict every other day schedule, and did fairly well at it.

Now that I don't have access to a gym, or ANY free weights (for now im not going to explain why), I have been doing the following routine:

Every single morning after I wake up:

35 pushups
80 crunches
45 bicep excercises with a back-pack full of books (probalby about 10 pounds, and I think the term is "curls" but i'm not sure since i've never been up to date on weight lifting jargon)
45 "calf-up" holding that same back-pack (basically going up and down on my tip-toes.

At night, on a day-to-day basis:

x amount of pushups, every day adding 1 (currently on 80..very hard..I usually collapse and then add 10 to what I didn't do afterwards)

x amount of crunches (adding 1 every day, currently on 160

x amount of bicep excercises with that back-pack (currently on 70)

x amount of "calf-ups" (currently on 80)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOW, I was going to ask you guys to critque my "routine" (even though it is weak) and add some other suggestions of some excercises you know I can do without any equipment other than household items and myself. Also, is doing stuff like this going to increase my physical appearance or just make me stronger? I've been doing this about 1-2 months now after a summer of weight-lifting.

My diet is not that great, I try to eat protein and eat a lot, sometimes I fail though. I am very scrawny, about 6-foot and weigh precisely 147 pounds.

Thank you guys, I appreciate the help.
 

"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.

i dont see why theres absolutely no reason why you cant get to a gym...and i expecially dont agree why you cannot get ANY freeweights.

the truth is your only going so far without weights. you could try doing various bodweight squats, but again, to get mass, you need weight.

theres simply not any miracle exercises that cannot be done without using weights if gaining mass is your goal.
