"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.

"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 have heard of this. I'm assuming you've seen a doctor and were given the diagnosis? I've been training for over 30 years and trained athletes for over 20 years. As far as any association to "Getting it at the gym," it wasn't the gym presa. I'll preface this with, "I'm not a doctor" and am not giving medical advice, but a likely scenario is you ate something prior to going to the gym or took some sort of antibiotic or pain reliever. It could be something you've eaten before and not had a problem with but the difference could be that you have never coupled it with some sort of aerobic activity. Just like when you lift or run, you are actually stressing the body in a controlled manner to get an adaptation response. However when you ingest something that for whatever reason, your body has a mild allergic reaction to, the additional stress of activity like exercise, can temporarily suppress your immune system enough for the allergic reaction to overburden your immune systems ability to counteract what you've ingested.
Yes I think you are right bro. I think it was the additional stress like exercise that caused it. So this means that I have to clean up my diet of anything that can be allergenic. Thanks for the advice.
"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.

Man get a physical done and see a physician. Likely nothing but best to be safe.
