"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.

wow 18 years old and being able to follow a diet like that is impressive keep up the good work
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Effort thanks for the kind words man. Its actually not that bad if you want it bad. The three hardest parts to my opinion are :
1. getting started
2. eating tuna and mayo before bed time
3. seeing guys whose diet suck and who dont work legs gaining crazy amounts of weight with roids. Trust me theres more than a few at my gym. :mad:

Btw effort hows your training going ?

Dmatter trying to keep up to me is gonna get hard bud :D Games on !

for your first workset, try 5-10lbs under your previous weight and see how it feels. if it's easy, add some more weight, if not, stay with it.
 

"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.

Todays workout:

Squats 1*5 @ 215. then 1*3 @ 215 .. I couldnt do it. I tried my hardest but it was just too hard.
Shoulder Press 3*5 @ 110
DL 1*5 @ 225.
Pull ups 3 sets to failure.

So I think I need a new workout plan. I dont think my body can handle squatting three times a week anymore. Any suggestions ?

Diet is still good. Ive been increasing bench and shoulder press lately so its not so bad :D

Take care. FB

"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.

Nah, don't do every set to failure. Close to failure is fine, i.e. stop when you're not sure if you'll get the next rep. Diet looks good.

"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.

yeah if you can get a hamburger or some steak in that would help after your workout. Chicken is pretty light in the calories which is why it doesn't make the best postworkout meal.

Where to start B is a good workout. In a year I got up to some good numbers and put on some decent weight.

Everything is looking good, keep it up frenchy.

I agree, you're on the right track and much more consistent than most guys your age. Keep it up!

I would do high rep squats instead of the horizontal leg press though.

If you have only limited amounts of red meat I'd have it pre workout - beef before the workout will give you a more aggressive edge.

After your workout add 4 raw eggs to your pwo shake and then have your chicken and rice, no worries. Throw some olive oil or peanut butter on your chicken or keep the skin on it if you need more calories.

Does that say you are shoulder pressing 35lbs, for 2 sets? Are you using dumbbells?
 

"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.
