This. I used to work construction and hated it, also exhausted every day after work. I changed my career and now work the hours I want. It’s so much better
"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.
Do you guys feel like doing nothing after a workday?

"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.

No once i get home i head to the gym and workout, go home shower and some nights even go out.
Unless your working in a labour intensive job, which most women then you have no excuse to be lazy at home.

It really destroys you physicallyand mentally, in my factory job i had to commute two hours to work by bus and train. Often would have overtime and than another two hours back home. Some nights i had no time once i got back and just slept.
The pay was terrible as well, i don't wish that life on my worst enemy.

I mean you can do that, but how does that help with anything?
I'd limit this to once a week. Nothing wrong with it unless you do it every day.

It's probably low T. Get it checked.
In fairness we are surrounded by girl power and weak soy boys. It's common place and practice.
I lift 6x a week. I approach. I take my D out. Lock down was irrelevant.
Make new pals preferably significantly younger. Dhv by being a cool older guy. They can motivate you going out. While uncalibrated it's synergistic as they have vigor and the fire.
Clean up diet. Lift minimum 4day split. Approach girls on commute to work and lunch break. Break out of the mundane everyday routine. Most guys don't and instead play house with some busted girl and YouTube rants about hypergamy. Don't do this.
Shake it up. Even if you are wrecked rest but do a 20min walk. Get a new hobby. Join a mma or boxing gym.
"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.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Didn't get a pay raise.... Must be low T....
Always get socks at Christmas.... Must be low T....
Somebody stole my car..... Must be low T...
McDonalds didn't put a napkin in with my food.... Must be low T....

Even within the same industry exist different political and working environments.

Indeed.
It's the poisoned well. One toxic manipulator can poison a team. If they are higher up then that becomes the company culture. Dan rusts book workplace poker is well worth a read for the different types of toxic company culture. Today's workplace I think it's good advice to never leave the market always have the CV out there and be talking to people. Tell recruiters that you're very happy there and r doing great things and they love you. And you are always happy to talk to great people about great opportunities. I think too many of us myself included only look when things are bad at work or when we are between gigs. Random chance does throw them up and I think you have to be looking to get the bounce.

If you are an introvert and spend your day around people at some point you just wanna stay by yourself.
The other option is a weak form of depression.

Workout on weekday mornings. Light cardio and weight training -- just not too strenuous.
Eat clean. Cut out processed meats and white bread. Eat more fruit and vegetables. Rely on potatoes and corn, not grain, for carbs.
Have an AM caffeine cut-off. Drinking lots of coffee not only interferes with sleep, but the crash will drain you. I drink a cup of black coffee on the sh!t can each morning at 6:30AM. That's it.
Drink a lot of water. A lot of fatigue is actually mild dehydration.
Do not drink any alcohol on weeknights. Even one beer will fvck your sleep up.
Do not look at screens an hour before bed. Read a book. This will calm your mind.
It's okay to feel tired and drained after work. You're not supposed to be going right back out to do stuff. You should be winding down. Have something to look forward to. I like cooking, listening to a podcast or a Yankees game on the radio, and reading a good book before bed. If you work out in the morning, relaxing should be the only thing on the evening schedule.
