"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.

Gnerally when I used to lift I would not feel like I did enough until the muscle group was in pain. As of this week I started a new routene after some time off and I did the recommended set/reps etc. instand of gong till failure. I dont feel sore after the lift, some muscles are fatigued but overall I have more energy and feel prety good. Is this b/c I didn't push myself enough, I felt like I had a good lift, I hit a new bench high today for 1, but is the fact im not sore good or bad?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Usually for me, when starting to excerise after a week off training, i come back and have to take an easy because my body would get real sore. But a couple weeks in, i don't really get that sore anymore. And am pushing myself extremely hard on every workout. Its just your body getting used to the punishment. To answer your question, no, you don't have to be sore after you workout everytime.

What you'll discover is that certain bodyparts seem to get sore the day after training in most sessions whereas others never really do. For most people Quads are sore the day after training. If that applies to you, then you know that if they aren't sore the day after then it wasn't a good session. Although tbh it's very obvious from the session you just did whether it was a good one or not.

There isn't a meaninful correlation between soreness and quality of your workout.

It's neither good nor bad. If you felt like you had a good workout, you probably did.

persistent soreness may, however, correlate with insufficient post-workout nutrition. soreness in the first two weeks after a long layoff is to be expected.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

True if they soreness is getting worse then it probably means your body can't keep up with the repairs and you have over training. I don't get sore anymore but I can tell that my body is exhausted after working out.
