"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.

How does OP even get through the day at 900 cal/day at his height!? He is starving himself. He is going to lose some more muscle and keep all of the fat.

He should keep caloric deficit at a minimum and lift heavy (compound movements).
 

"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.

Just figure I'd touch base with everyone, I tried to maintain that massive calorie deficit but it was just killing me on my lifting/cardio days. I ended up having a deficit of 600-500 calories only. I'm down 5lbs since I posted this, some of my lifts have stalled but other areas like my triceps are still getting great gains. I go in for another DEXA scan next month, it will be interesting to see if I gained or lost any lean mass.

Edit: Thanks for all the advice in here there was quite a big of information to mull and think over.
