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.

If high blood pressure runs through my family, should it affect physical performance?

I tend to think that I am above average in physical fitness when compared to the average person. But when I check my blood pressure, it usually is something like 139/50 (dafuq?). Sometimes 130/55 or when it gets close to being something normal 127/74. I may have sleep apnea but I'm not certain. My dad has high blood pressure and takes meds for it and he does have sleep apnea. It runs in his side of the family (he is a third worlder though so he should be naturally physically fit from the strenuous activity he did as a kid. He does have that natural old man strength even though he is overweight by like 40 lbs and rarely does physical work anymore though). My mom is rather the opposite at like 99/59 and does not give a flying **** about her own physical fitness. She eats whatever the hell she wants whenever (which isn't a lot granted, but still), has never done any sports as a kid, no physical labor, still doesn't. She may have worked out prolly 15 times max over the course of almost 5 decades, yet has a healthier cardiovascular system than her physically active teenage son. She isn't skinny or fat either, but she doesn't exercise. Born and raised here.

So that's a little bit of my parental background in case anyone here wanted to know for whatever reason. Anyway, I think I have high blood pressure from my dad. Should that affect my physical performance in any way when training or just exercising in general?
 

"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.

Well, I hate celery and am lactose intolerant so that could explain it lol. But I'll look into the other stuff for sure.

celery seed extract is a capsule, not actual celery...

It's ALWAYS better to have the real thing than what the manufacturers are trying to sell you because then you get whatever they were trying to advertise plus a little extra. I'm just saying I hate celery so I've barely ever eaten it throughout my life.
 

"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.

In this case its not as the clinical trials were done with this specific extract.
