"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.

What do you guys do for abs...Crunches??? How many sets and reps?????? I'm someone who isn't fat but kind of skinny... I'm starting to get ripped but I have no abs really...What do you recommend for building up the abs...Give me how many days a week if should be done and if crunches tell me how many sets and rep.....
 

"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.

Cute, but here's a real routine if you want one. Start at the lowest level and do each level twice before you move on. So if you work your abs twice a week, you're looking at 9 weeks for the whole thing. Here's what I do:

Monday: Legs
Tuesday: Abs
Wednesday: Back/Biceps
Thursday: Abs
Friday: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Sat/Sun: Rest

If you want my entire weightlifting routine, its under 'intermediate 3-way split' in this thread: link

P.S. If you have no idea what leg thrusts are, try to remember one of those old Chinese Kung-Fu movies that show Shaolin monks pounding the stone floor with their legs. That's it. Leg thrusts are basically step-kicks.

Confuzed..

Okay.. I try to keep up on terminology (dunno if it's a word.. but who cares.. I'm using it..) about weight stuff and fitness (sh!tness if you're refering to my body) but what are some of those things..knee rockback? hanging knee/leg raise? crunches? leg thrusts? (I haven't seen any old Kung-Fu movies) *looks to DVDs and sees "Revenge of the Dragon".. does that count?*

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
