"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.

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 =]
chinups
6x+15kg
5x+15
3.5x+15
dips
6x+15kg
4x+15
4x+15
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
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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
"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.
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?

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?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
