"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.

"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.

MAYBE Glucosamine could help you out. Im not sure on that so look it up. It's basically what lubes your joints

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?
 

"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.

@ 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.
