"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.

Does anyone know why you get cramps when running? Like when I run on the treadmill, after about 10 minutes I start gettin bad cramps in my abs.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Check your diet.
Diet?


I believe it's a combination of stretching and just getting used to running. It takes time before your muscles are adapted to long distance running.

I have the same problem! No matter how much water and healthy food i eat, i still get cramps without fail.

Ive even tried very light meals an hour or more before running.

Ive been running 2 miles everyother day for the last two months... maybe i need another few months before i get used to it?
 

"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.

When I get a cramp, I run through it, and it goes away after a few minutes.

Once you run for long enough, and the endorphines begin to be released, the pain should go away.

my football coach told me in a long running session that cramps happen when your unfit... didn't really know what he meant though, he also told us to all run through it and said that if I was getting chased by gangsters and i got a cramp i'd still keep running otherwise i'd die, so now whenever i run i imagine 5 gangsters chasing me with knives

anyways I tend not to get cramps unless I drank too much water 1 or less hours before the exercise

I get bad cramps in my abdominal area after an extremely long amount of running. But more often, when I play basketball I get them in my lower back and it hurts like hell, I can't move when I get them and it's almost hard for me to breathe. I sit down, it hurts, I try to lie down, it hurts more. So I just have to sit completely still until it goes away.

Cramps that occur while active can be because of insufficient blood supply to the tissue, dehydration, muscle fatigue, or mineral depletion. Also bad positioning could be to blame, but not likely.

Do a search for "stitch in the side".

You should not eat any less than 2 hours be4 a workout(be it weights or cardio). If you do, you may feel bloating, cramps or general discomfot. Sounds like this is probably your problem
