"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.
 

"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.

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

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.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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:
