"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.

"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.

Yoga should be ok if it is low intensity. Boxing might put to much strain on your body and make you worse.

I have something right now, probably a cold, so I am taking tomorrow of the gym and hoping to go on Sunday instead. Will not rush it though.

Just be sensible.

I lift if my sickness does not cause any stamina issues such as headaches or throat mucus. If its just a stuffynose/sorethroat, working out helps actually.

I just do strength training at around 70% of what I usually lift with only 1 set per exercise. I spend around 15-25 minutes excluding warming up.

Like quag said, if it makes you feel worse, stop.

Do you feel good or not?

I really don't know what it means. I had a sore throat and still went twice this week with it and things are fine. Now the sore throat is gone. Do you FEEL like you can lift or not and you just looking for an excuse to pansy out? sometimes you feel bad and show up at the gym and everything is fine.

My damn roommate brought home strep throat (he and his gf both have it) and i got a LITTLE sore but defeated it within 3 days because i eat vitamin c, vegetables, take glutamine, and am healthy in general. My immune system kicks ass. He and his fat gf are moping around.

sorry kinda giddy and posting at 2:20am. Rare night that i drank and met a steeler fan at the bar and she's goin with me to a sports bar sunday to watch the game. i rule... she's cute.

That's your fault for kissing him.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
