"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.

My calves are disgusting. I am a skinny guy, but my legs and upper body look good. My calves however, are disgustingly thin. I can't seem to get them to grow, either. I've definitely gained mass in my upper boddy and thighs...

It's to the point where I don't want to wear shorts when I'm with a girl.
 

"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.

Seated and standing calf raise works well...raise and lower slowly and be sure to get a good squeeze at the top...

For me, if I'm not feeling a brief and intense burn after each set of calf raises, I've not worked them hard enough.

Long distance running, BTW, will build your calves.
Dude! I've done distance running all my life!

Anyone here with skinny calves who has somehow made them big?

coolrunning, I am in the same boat as you. With me, I have noticed, the way I started putting on size in the calves was hitting them twice a week with heavy weights, doing standing, sitting calf raises and donkey raises. I use to play soccer and I never saw them grow once. With calves you really have to push way past their limits.

Yea weight train them like every other muscle so you can increase size (achieve hypertrophy). Sets of 6-12 reps are best for this.

I'm with Salvatore here - calves are almost entirely genetic.

I'm interested in that link he's posted though - I'll give that a shot.
