"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.

"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.

Man I hurt my knee in Brazilian jiu-jitsu class. It was a direct blow to the mat. My knee swelled up, I was not in alot of pain however. I continued going to brazilian jiu-jitsu class and after about 5 classes the knee got worse. It took the knee about 7 weeks to heal. I went to the Dr after about 5 weeks of pain and he said it was a bad sprain.

I asked him if he is sure i did not tear anything. He said no, because if you tore something you would be in alot of pain. If you are in alot of pain or heard a pop when the injury happened than I would suggest you see an ortho doc and have an MRI.



What I would do is after the knee starts feeling better.

Do leg extensions and leg curls every other day. GO light.

And do stretches for the knee twice a day. Doing this helped me greatly.

Fvcking injuries suck.

Good luck to you.

Yea injuries suck. I messed up my knee playing soccer. Now I'm out and watching months of squat gains slip away. I'm going to spend the whole summer on recovery and restrengthening it. Be patient and take it slow. The last thing you want to do is re-aggravate the injury or cause permanent damage. Get professional help if possible.

What did the doc say? Did you tear anything?
 

"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.

@ op and Falcon. Search eBay for knee wrap. Products by BREGG are good, here is manufacturer website.

No guarantees that a knee wrap or brace will help you. It helped me for a small injury I had years ago. They're pretty cheap and worth a try, IMO.

I didn't tear anything which is good. I just need to rest it up and lay off sports until it's fully healed. It's been getting better, I can go up stairs pain free now. Sometime during the summer I will start doing core and balance exercises.

I've tried a brace which hasn't helped much, not by the same company. Maybe I will try a knee wrap sometime.

I hyper extended mine last year. A brace helped.
It still feels tender the next morning when I put a little stress on it. Kinda sucks that it doesn't seem like it'll ever be back to as strong as it use to be.
