"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.

When i squat, i cant bend my knees enough so i can fully execute the squat. This is due to the fact that when i go to squat my tibialis anterior really burns and prevents me from moving and further downwards towards the floor. Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

is your form right? Feet shoulder width, toes pointed 30 degress to outside, chest out, head straight?

Hmmm sounds like it could be a stiffness/tightness issue. You may want to consider stretching it, perhaps Stronglifts has some advice on a suitable stretch.
Just a suggestion, good luck...

Yeah, im using the right form. And it may be due to tightness as I've got very tight hamstrings, maybe the other parts of my legs are tight too :(.

It sounds to me like your weight is coming too far foward (towards the front of your feet) if you are getting a burning sensation in your tib. anterior. Make sure to keep your butt down with weight going through your heels when you squat.

A good exercise to test your form is to place a chair behind you that is low enough so that your legs break 90 degrees when you squat. Your goal should be to keep your back straight and sit in the chair and then press back up. I suggest trying with lighter weight than usual.
 

"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.

Some tips:
-start with an empty barbell, let your body get used to squatting deep
-focus on your squat technique. Knees out, heels on the floor, no bouncing at bottom.
-stretch your hamstring: back straight, butt back, bend over, try to touch your toes
-stretch your ankles: stand on steps, heels of the steps, let it stretch
-both stretches for 3x20sec 4times a week.

Good luck.

I second the chair idea, my instructor taught me how to squat with a chair metaphor.
