"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.

Did you meet Pavel? Cool. Does he have a Comrade accent?:D

Well you know the old Ebay maxim, 'If it sounds too good to be true......


My second hand, advertised 'kettlebell handles' turned up today.

Well for £15. They were advertised online and the guy said they were made by Scorpian, so I snapped them up. Turns out they are the heavy duty types like the Ironmind/Pullum ones.

Fvck me are they monsters, I don't like them though. They load vertically so you need something like a Bulldog II collar on them otherwise the weight and the centrepetal force send them off in your direction, bad design.

Anyway seen some in the states called kettlegrips and they look fvckin good value, so I'll get a pair of those I think. They do some smart micro-loading plates as well.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

While we are on the subject of Pavel. Has anyone tried the 'bear' routine. It's his take on GVT as far as I can see.

My second day and I've been getting up to 15 set of 5 with about 120lbs but my lower back is pumped so much I can't do anymore, yet my legs are ok. I've checked my form and I don't think I'm using the back too much.

Has anyone tried this and had the same thing?
