"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.

sup.. Just got a new set of dumbbells with the traditional threaded grip, and my hands are sore as f*ck, which is suprising as they are top quality set - or is this is common anyway?

Is it a matter of getting use to it and waiting for my soft hands to toughen up, or should i invest in a pair of gloves?
 

"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.

I've seen many guys recommend not using gloves (especially at my gym) and this doesn't makes sense to me.. because well, they work. That and I like my hands softer, not all rough and callused up. I prefer this for many reasons but for example, when I'm feeling/touching the lady folk I can actually feel/enjoy them and don't end up scraping them with hands like sand paper.

It ain't weightlifting without a ton of white powder everywhere!!! You should be leaving the gym covered in the stuff.

ive never personally used chalk. do you just dump it on your hands?
F*** yeh. That s*** should be in every crease there is. I can't imagine lifting without chalk anymore. I leave covered in the stuff. People probably think I do coke or something, I go into my bag before my big lifts and take a shot of ammonia and I'm covered in all this white s***. Not to mention the heavy rock I put on in the background. Heh :)

Deadlifts for the win!!!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I'd worry less about gloves and more about the view up your skirt doing SLDLs.
