"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.

You know how if you have a wider grip on the bench press it works the outer region of the pec, and if you have a closer grip on the bench press it works the inner region of the pec.

Well, I want to improve my entire pectoral region. How do I get both areas worked fully?
 

"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.

Yes, those cover the various fiber regions... but depending on your GRIP with each exercises, you workout different sections of the pec region.

Btw, a muscle contraction is the same thing as flexing a particular muscle, right?

You can't work different parts of a muscle. The enervating neurons in the muscle are dispersed such that the entire muscle flexes when any of its fibers flex.

The wide grip bench press hits the pecs more, where as the narrow grip works more of the TRICEPS. Techically you can't work outer and inner, as they are split more into upper and lower. (As far as I know)

Thats like saying I want to work my upper bicep and my lower bicep, but you can't. I'm sure there are ways to hit the 'outer' and 'inner' bicep, since there are two heads.

I'm rambling, and I'm not even sure I'm right.

My chest is probably the most-well worked out part on my body (girls like it and I think it looks good too ;)) and all I have ever done was do bench presses on a flat bench with a...naturally wide grip...rather broad to hit the pecs more, but basically a grip im comfortable with...

The secret is committement and patience..I really feel like most people who start to work out worry WAY too much about little details, when 90% of them won't keep going if they have been lifting for a mere year and can't believe that they haven't accomplished what they wanted to accomplish yet (b/c building takes patience). Of course you have to take care a little so you dont overtrain..and that you work out properly....but all those little details dont really have that big an influence..
 

"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.

That's SOLID advice. You should ask for this to be a Sticky, because most people in here (I used to do that too) worry about things that don't even matter until you are 50 lbs heavier than your starting weight.
