"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.

When I look at my abs in the mirror, I se that they are clearly defined in the middle 1/3 of my midsection (left to right). I would like to make them wider to cover maybe 1/2. Is there any exercises that specificly are stimulating abs to grow in this directions?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Heavy deadlifts, heavy squatting will give decent ab growth.

to target them directly, have proportion in mind.

Upperabs/whole abs: Crunches 2X10 with weight
Lower abs: Leg raises 2X10 with weight
Whole abs: Decline sit ups 2X10 with weight

do this 3 times a week, with 30 seconds rest between sets.

if you train them with heavy resistance they will grow and square out, or rectangular shape depending on your genetics, if you dont work abs with heavy resistance they wont stick out as they cant grow much.

low body fat to reveal abs.

Weighted crunches, machine crunches, or rope pull downs help a lot for mass and width. However, ab shape is pretty genetic-dependent.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You are stuck with your personal shape unfortunately. You can only make what you've got bigger, making them look even narrower.

If you were a pro bodybuilder, it 'just' might put your career to bed. I suggest if this is your main problem in life, you are either doing very well or not doing much at all.

New noticed the effect of deadlift on abs before, but I tried it and can feal it, so I have started always doing deadlift as a warmup before abs training, good idea?

"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.

Well its last in my back routine, before I switch to abs. So yes its kind of warm-up for that, cause it activates the abs better then the other back exercises I know.
