"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.
bigger pecs?

"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.

When you bench 315 deep, your pecs will be fine.
+ What Quik said.
You want bigger pecs? Do more pec work. Try dips. Full weight (you body), start out low and increase reps every workout.
p.s i know this is thread hijacking but do you call or text a girl after you've gotten her number? (for the first date)
"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.
Do some dumbell presses at an angle if you're feeling adventurous. Instead of straight up working your shoulders, do it at more of an angle so you'll hit the chest a little.
Like this: http://www.ironbody.it/assets/galleries/158/dumbell_incline_press_.jpg
Adjust the angle to whatever is comfortable, and keep your feet planted on the ground always!

2 sets flat bench bar 10 reps then 7 reps
2 sets incline bench bar 10 reps then 7 reps
2 sets flat bench dumbell 10 reps then 7 reps
2 sets incline bench dumbell 10 reps then 7 reps
and please.. don't let people talking about benching astronomical amounts of weigh discourage you. the ultimate goals (for me) are feeling good, looking good, being healthy, and being confident. you don't need to be a bloated moose to achieve those ends.
good luck with your pec.

thanks! will do.Also, a lot of people have been saying do normal benches, your pecs will fill out. I really don't find this to be true. Lots of flat benching will develop your pecs to be a lot more rounded. (Not that it's a bad thing) I find incline benches, incline dbell presses build the clavicle area a lot more (collarbone area) making you look a lot more solid up top.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I called her, no answer so i left a text with what i wanted to call about. No answer and it's been 10+ hours. Either she's not interested or she hasn't seen the message. Can i go ahead and make other plans for that day?PeeGee said:
To the OP, Also, it's form > weight. increasing your numbers is good and will increase your strength but it won't be nearly as good as building your weights up slowly through proper form. Remember to bring that bar really low (I like to either touch/almost touch my upper pec area) to really build the muscle up there.
"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.

Yess it can work like that. My lat on the left side has always been smaller and seemingly less developed than the other side. Part of this could be genetics but part of it is defnitely from the right side of my body being dominant (used more often or prioritized etc).Alle_Gory said:
Sometimes my right arm/shoulder will swell up a little when I am on the phone too long so I have been making a habit out of holding the phone with the left hand (no funny jokes guys hehe), and using speaker phone when I can.
