"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Bench Press?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
No spotter = playing it safe, not as intense of a workout.
A spotter may not be required though, it depends on your goal. If you just want to cut, or if you're aiming for muscular endurance, you will probably be doing more sets of lighter weights and can get away with not having a spotter.
If you are powerlifting or bulking, you're going to have to go heavy with low reps, closer to your max. And having a spotter is very beneficial in these circumstances.
There's no evidence saying that going to failure is beneficial for strength gain so I don't think I'm detracting much from the workout by doing that.
You're playing a very dangerous game. I used to do the same thing (anticipate my last rep, roll the bar off my chest if I fail) until one time my arm collapsed under the bar without warning, and the bar came down on my face. Luckily I managed to slip my head out from underneath it. Had the bar landed any lower I wouldn't have been able to get my head out from under it, and I'd be dead.mikeyb said:
If you work out at home, get a power rack or something that will keep you from dieing when you finally do misjudge your limit.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Lust said:i know, bad habit. they don't "cut", more cardio does, but muscular endurance and cutting go hand in hand in my mind.
