"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Abs without crunches?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

This is my recent pic. Like I said, I have not done any abs related workouts. I run, do jump ropes and lift weights. I am frustrated because I can not get beyond this physique. I want a solid 6/8 pack. :D Gastritis seems to take a while to heal. :(
Seems like you're doing fine, going by that pic. To get beyond that is going to take pretty strict dieting.

Arnold used to say not to waste time doing upper abs, and concentrated all his training on lower abs, which was harder to target, but worked the upper abs sufficiently. That said, can you do hanging knee raises? Those are my favorite exercise for lower abs.

Beyond that, maybe do yoga to strengthen you core. Even if you can't do ab work directly, you CANNOT ignore your core, if you do, you WILL get injured eventually.

At minimum, try to suck in your gut throughout the day and maintain good posture. It's harder than it looks.
