"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

i need a routine to pack some muscle on my abs, as well as help srenghten my core. Currently i work abs twice a week. I do 25 weighted swiss ball sits up( to tire the upper abs out ), 25 weighted regular sits up, 25 weighted(ankle weights or hold medicine ball with ankles) reverse crunches, and finally 25 cable pull downs. I do 3 sets of this and thats it. Then i do 2-3 sets of side bends on a hyperextension/glut ham machine. Any additions, mods, let me hear it.
 

"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.

Do heavier sets of 10.

Why work your abs at 25 reps when you don't do that for other muscles?

to be honest with you, i have no particular reason for the 25 reps. Just figured it'd be nicer to have a round number of total reps at the end, 100. Lol... has anyone been doing a heavy abs routine?

Heres what you do:

Put small plates either side of a barbell. Say 5kg a side. Put collars on as well if you have them. You now effectively have an ab wheel. Read this and watch the video:

And do 2x8-10. You can add weight by putting a backpack with plates on your back.

I did them for the first time today. Ouch...:up:
 

"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.
