"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I have a really bad knee due to sports injuries when I was younger, and when I do squats and stuff that bends my knee it really hurts it. I'm wondering is there any hope for me, and weight trainning if I got a really bad knee? I can lift weights with my legs no problem.
 

"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.

How far below/above parallel does the pain start when you do a full squat?

probably like halfway.. is it hopeless or is there other exercises I could do? I can do bench press, leg press.

I hurt my knee a couple months back and was out of commission with it for 3 months (saw a doc, had xrays/cat scan.. came back showing it healed.. just tons of muscle atrophy).. I'm still building it back up strength wise.

This may not be your case but in my experience, the more I strengthen my leg (the muscles attached to the knee) the better its supported and the less it hurts over time.

I am no doctor though and your case may be different.

I can't this injury happened because my knee muscle didn't heal well. I've had it for like 8 years.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

The best alternative would probably be good mornings for the posterior chain, and use the leg press for your quads. GM's strengthen a lot of the same muscle as squats and deadlifts. Also look into deadlifts, although they might still hurt your knees; depends where the pain starts.

This is a good morning:
