Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

do you prefer sit ups or cruches?

"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.

Happy birthday, Brian.

They're different exercises, I do them with different variations so can't compare.
Nothing like a few huyndred situps, though.

I don't really like either. The "super-crunch" is ok, where you start from the upright crunch motion, flex, and gradually go down slow as possible.

Martial arts classes I've been in have you yell your count while you go up during regular crunches, which helps to hit the abs harder.

I prefer sitsup, but only if I do these things:

Don't go to high when doing situps. You'll know you're too high when you stop feeling the tension in your abs. Also, keep your back straight. To do this, try to make your shoulder touch the floor first when you come down, your lower back should touch last if its gonna touch at all.
 

"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.

I do a mixture of scrunches (legs down, legs up for lower abs, then cross overs), and also those exercises where you bend your knees, push them out a bit, and then sit up so that your finger tips touch your knees.

To get definition you really need to burn off that tummy fat. I'm not there yet.

Not many, it's all about bodyfat.

The thing is most of the guys here probably rely on other more compound weight lifts to work their abs. Squats work a lot including legs & abs. Dips work a LOT of your upper body + abs. Pull ups, Pull up curls. You just have to use your abs during other lifts its where a lot of your power & stability comes from anyway.
