"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.

To reiterate my sordid history:
<2005>Fractured neck, broken ribs, subdural hematoma, lacerated organs...coma

Since 2006, worked my way up, now I'm BP/DL/Squatting 160lbs. I'm 5'6", 150lbs...

I work out at home and adding plates each set is a pain in the a$$.

Is it a big deal that I leave 160lbs on and simply increase the reps for leg exercises? I know I could DL and squat well into the 200's but I resist cause I'm too lazy to move plates back and forth :confused:

I see you guys DLing 300lbs and I suspect I could have pushed that by now, but I'm more concerned with my own development over pure numbers.

It this a big deal?
 

"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.

There is no correct way of working out,it all about different strokes for different fokes.

Yes you are 42,you need to push yourself the hardest you can,you aren't getting any younger. You aren't a teenager anymore take advantage anything available to you,creatine,multi-vitamin,whey protein anything short of steroids.
