"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.

"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.

I've never heard of anyone widening their torso in short time and with those excersises.
I don't like bench press w/a barbell. Too much pressure on the rotator cuff and you don't get the depth you can with a dumbbell.
I favor decline and flat presses with dumbbells because...
-you get lower.
-little to no stress on the front deltoid.
-the control in 1 hand leaves it up to your pec and tricep to do the lifting, not shoulders.
-more natural position for the wrists.
Military presses are nice with dumbbells, too. I get them lower than I would with barbells. The deltoids and triceps are in control of the weight and in natural positions, not forcing stress on the wrists.
Bent-over rows are nice, and so are deads. They're good for overall back work, particularly thickness.

"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.
I love the way you read each post of mine, although you know they suck... What about getting a life outside of here instead?
Can you read?
1. Did I ever say "short time"? "least time possible" may mean 3 days as it may mean 4 years... Get some reading comprehension 101
2. If i knew which exercises were preferable, would have I asked here for advice? Probably not... Maybe you like spending your time on the Net asking for things you already know, but I'd rather get a better life if I were you
He misunderstood your question, just tell him exactly what you mean again, don't go telling them they need lives, or their life sucks or whatever, that's just pitiful.
Peace!

Shoulders:
-barbell/dumbell shoulder presses.
-barbell behind the neck shoulder presses, but I don't recommend doing this if you aren't experienced. But if you want, try lowering the bar to only the forehead level, and stop if you feel something hurting.
-lateral raises, which build up the medial deltoids, and gives width
Lats:
-widegrip pullups, or pulldowns on a machine if you can't do pullups. The key here is to lower yourself slowly, instead of just letting your body drop. This adds width to your lats
-Rows (barbell, or on a machine). This adds thickness to your lats.
Although doing bench/squats/deadlifts don't directly make you wider, these heavy compound exercises recruit a large amount of muscles, which increases your body's natural testosterone output, and helps you develop muscle in other areas of your body.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You are right, MrS
Centaurion, I'm sorry, but I really hate the way you get into each post of mine and start blaming without reading well what I've written.
