"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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
stomach is already gotten better! no wonder it was demolished after this weekend!my dips really suck but i only started doing them 2 months ago or so. so it's no wonder. i wish i would be better in dips instead of being chinup god so i wouldnt have such small arms!
my current situation is ****. i even have strong psychosomatic problems showing through my body like coughing all the time without being ill and having problems with breathing, like something needs to get out but can't :/
there are still a lot basic things i have to do to be able to live a happy life which i will do. plus i will do a ****ing nice bulk up to 175 when im back from vacation =]

when i drove home a "forbidden" way through my village a "milf" pulled up her skirt and flashed her tits at me to stop me because she wanted to "warn" me because a car was comming up to me in the opposite direction. she said plz dont tell anybody about it, damn i wasnt able to take use of the situation i was totally caught by surprise, damn she had ****ing big tits and looked good for her age. at least it cheered me up a bit lol, never seen anything like that
"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.
Up the dips
Dude it seems all the funs tuff happen to you. Milf flashing tits...
Ohh and I watched Hercules in New York yesterday... lol.. you have to see that movie.
Is that hercules. He doesn't look like me at all. Look *pull offs shirts and hit a front lat spread* hahaha *do a front double biceps* does he look like me? does he look like me? you have to see that movie.. it's pretty sick
yes i will up em dips i promise!!!!!
i want to get the chinups up to 10 then i will try the 20kg =] well i fear that the chinup bar will break through the doorframe and i will lie on the floor with demolished knees for all my life. any suggestions for a solution??
is the hercules movie already on dvd or is it new in the cinema?

nice one mate. how much difference in reps is there when you do weighted exercises compared with non-weighted? i'm at 10 reps the now with my chinups so i reckon i should add some weightOriginally posted by Double

i thought you said you've been eating candles lol, thought you'd lost it
i think in the beginning it was like 13chinups without weight and 7 with 5kg or something like that. weighted chinups are hard when you arent used to additional weight but then you seem to be able to up the weight at a pretty fast rate in my experience at least
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
kickass lifts man... you're making me jealous. Let's have some friendly competition. First to 6rep 26 kg wins on the dips. I need to get the tris up to good size. Something you wanna try? =) I'm at 9 reps at 7.5 kg after the skull crushers. So I figure I can manage 10 kg or something for 6 reps.Originally posted by Double

Anyways, have all the dipping and chin-uping made your arms much bigger?
Haha.. not want to sound arrogant...
hint---> narcisstic very high
i just measured to tell you the new stats they are still 35 and 34cm. when i started the dips and chinupmania as you called it over in gavs thread(put a smile on my angry face
) i gained about 1cm on each arm but it hasnt changed over the last week. i may get the strength up a bit by pure willpower but even double seems to not gain any muscle size with almost only fastfood and candies.yeh dude good you got my hint to the recent disorder thread.....all my attention and praise to you for getting it!! i hope my praise is worth anything to you because you histrionic guy dont wanna have a noname as a friend!!
im always up for challenge with you aslong as it doesnt include legs =] 6x26kg sounds good to me. it's about what i consider as the minimum to feel satisfied about my upper body strength. my chinup minimum goal i already reached. 5x100kg squat and 1x150kg deadlift are my other minimum goals i think(not sure yet) which seem way harder....damn legs :/
So cute of you to measure just for me. 1 cm increase is really good. Once you give it a rest they'll have time to grow, I bet you'll get up to 35.5 after this week. Why are your diet so bad double? Is it because you are on vacation?
Of course, you're double man... you're pretty famous/infamous in your ways here on the board. Your hardcore ways inspire us all.
And besides we are insane together and we both lift weights, that has to mean something. Great, Then it's on - 6x26 kg. Looking forward to tomorrow, it's gonna be a leg workout from the deepest depths of hell!
BTW: why are you angry?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
ya that has to mean something =)
im gonna make a leg workout, too, tomorrow. i need to be able to dance at the vacation so i cant go with you to the deepest hell tomorrow
my whey shaker smells fouly because i didnt clean it and the milk is sore since many days. plus i have hardly any whey left - need to order some new before i go on vacation. besides that im currently refocusing and making plans on new hardcore ways and changes so be prepared, my episode of crap diet will end soon.
I will write a reply to your pms as soon as I can, I'm very stressed right now, I'm going away in one hour and have ****loads of stuff to do. Didn't want to reply yesteday because my mind was dead after all math.
Take care, I'll do the heavy squatting/military presses tomorrow instead because my triceps are sour.
Your lift is looking good. are you going fore strength?
"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.
