"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Are gyms really worth it?

Absolutely worth it (although I have to confess I no longer have a gym membership. At the start of the pandemic I converted my garage into one basically- bought a bunch of equipment and have worked out at home since). Being physically fit does wonders for your self esteem and has the side effect of increased attention from women. Calisthenics are enough to get you in shape (and heavily makes up my routine too) but the weights help big time.

Gym membership also shouldn't be $180 a month. That has to be some kind of luxury gym which is unnecessary for most people.
 

"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.

I prefer my home gym, not because of the money, but because I can dedicate 1-2 hours per day in my own time, no traveling to and from the gym or waiting for others to be finished. I can record my rest times, go to 4-5mins rest per set if needed on heavy compounds, send emails in between, with no distractions.

I lack certain machines but can duplicate the movements and hit all muscle groups anyway. I'd like some cables though. I find home gym allows me to work out 5-6 per week without fail no matter how busy my day is. It works for me.

If I was still using free weights and/or machines then a gym would be worth it.

Since I am not and use heavy bands, my Bowflex and a heavy sandbag for training, it's not needed.

It's forces your body to move in a straight line and that's not the body's natural movement arc.

Squatting with any sort of heavy weight on this machine is a one way ticket to serious back problems.
