"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Critique on my workout routine

I was wondering if you guys could critique my workout routine and offer some advice. I've been doing this since mid-January and so far I do have more muscle definition and a bit more mass but I haven't noticed any significant weight gains. However I do LOOK more muscular than before.

I go 3x a week, and do 3 muscle groups each time. I do three exercises for each muscle group in a row, 3 sets, 6-10 reps (aim for 8). Chug water (about 3-4 bottles each time), try not to stay for more than an hour. After I've changed back into my normal clothes I have two hard boiled eggs for protein. I leave at least 1 day rest between workouts, of course. On non-workout days I try to eat lots of protein-rich foods, I go through about 24 eggs a week, I eat lots of chicken, etc.

Right now I'm 6'3'' 185 lbs. I'd like to increase the size of my muscles (esp. arms and pecs) but I don't want to add any more fat if I can avoid 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.

What exercises do you do? I can't critique the routine without knowing the exercises, sets, and reps for each bodypart.

I try to do as many free weight exercises as I can. For legs I do squats and presses. For arms I do curls with free weights, bars and sometimes a machine for variety. For shoulders, again, free weight raises. For my back I do bentover rows and cable pulleys. For the chest I do bench press and free weights. For triceps, same thing.

You still haven't been very specific listing your exercises for every bodypart, just list give us a list of every exercise you do, you said you do 3 sets of 6-10 reps, i'd take it down to 4-6 or so and try to lift heavier weight if you want to put on muscle.

Try to be more specific, instead of saying:
For the chest I do bench press and free weights
bench press is good, but free weights? that could mean anything, this is my current chest workout:

Chest

Flat Bench Barbell press - 5 sets of 5 reps
Incline (30 degrees) dumbell press - 2 sets of 6-8
Incline (30 degrees) barbell press - 2 sets of 6-8

Oh, and you need to eat a lot more than 2 eggs after your workout, that is only 12 grams of protein, you need about 40. You should be consuming about 1/3 of you daily calories within a couple of hours after your workout (apparently, i read that somewhere, makes sense though).
