"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.

I just finished doing preacher curl and while I was doing it, I felt pain, I mean actual pain. It feels as if the weight is pulling me (only 50 lb...). It feels a bit sharp inside of my chest.

What's wrong with me?
 

"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.

Hope this helps...
Yeah, I did that a few years ago - hurt like hell. Hopefully it's the left ventricle, cause that heals a lot faster than the right one.

Actually, I think the official medical term is you "tweeked" something. I wouldn't worry about it unless you continue to have pain, or it's recurring.

Ok, is this thing really inside your chest, or is it in your ribs? If you feel pain from it, it is either your heart or your ribs. I highly doubt it is your heart, because if you did something to that you would probably be dead already. Is it in the center of your chest or off to one side?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

YEah sometimes when i do that, it hurts my chest too (preacher curl). It goes away after awhile, i guess it was just improper form, i had my torso pushing against the cushion, and the weight was pushing down on it.

More of like center. I'm not sure if it's outside or inside, maybe between.

I think that's the pain, though I'm not perfectly sure. Most likely though...

If you are really worried maybe you should ask a doctor ... and not the internet. Just a thought.

Next time you do preachers, arrange your body so your chest isn't pressed so hard against the pad. Usually it will help if you put your feet out in front of you more.
