Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Help me put together a routine and gain weight

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Eat a lot of good food, work out hard, and sleep well!
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

A bad one. I just moved out so i eat junk food most of the time. Im lucky if i eat twice a day.
Then why are you complaining that you're not gaining weight? This is a terrible place for resources on bodybuilding - better left for discussing personal experiences with herpes. Go to the elite-fitness or bodybuilding forums.

This is the correct answer.
Please allow me to elaborate:
TRAINING:
We all have different recovery abilities, so volume probably won't work for you unless you're very lucky. One of the best routines there is for an average person is the following.
Monday:
Chin-ups or pulldowns, 2 sets, 6-10 reps, increase resistance or reps every workout
A bicep movement, 2 sets, 6-10 reps
Squats, 2 sets, 10 reps, ALMOST to failure
Deadlifts, 1 set, 6-10 reps
Friday:
Dips or bench press, 2 sets, 6-10 reps
Some sort of above the head presses for shoulders, 2 sets, 6-10 reps
An extra side delt movement if needed, 1 set, 15-30 reps (high rep work often does wonders for the shoulders, try it)
Abs, personally I recommend crunches with weights, 2 sets, 12 reps
All sets to positive failure, that is, no forced reps or rest-pauses.
NUTRITION:
Minimum of 1.5 grams of protein pr pound of bodyweight, I'd go to 2 grams pr pound.
Get a good amount of fat in, especially essential fatty acids like olive oil and flax seed oil.
Keep carbs under control, the amount of carbs has a strong correlation to the amount of fat gained/not gained. However, you need carbs postworkout, and I'd take them in for breakfast too. Do not take them in in your last meal.
Multivitamin, zinc, magnesium and calcium should be taken in daily.
And don't expect changes at first. It usually takes a minimum of four weeks to see changes in the mirror. However, you SHOULD get stronger (increase weight or reps) on almost every workout, if you're not, something is not working as it should.
Please understand that MOST people will have great gains on a routine like this, simply because they can't recover from the amount of work the volume routines force the body to go through.

Hope this helps!

There are in fact numerous people on this site who know quite a bit about bodybuilding.
"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.
Help with what? Christ man, if you're not gaining weight, you KNOW it's because you're just not eating enough, and don't have the discipline to maintain good nutritional habits.
Now you're getting people to motivate you? I think not. Get off your lazy ass and go do something about it yourself!
