Not so much. Which is why I'm going to get the squat rack in the next couple of weeks when it goes on sale.Quagmire911 said:
"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.

"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.

Excellent, make sure and get some more weights so it is more than 200lbs.KarmaSutra said:
It is more crucial at this stage to do weights, fat loss will be getting harder and you want to maintain as much muscle as possible. I think you knew that already though.
Keep it up. Blood work getting better? Or have you not been back...

I plan on picking up an extra 200 lbs. Fvck, the weights cost more than the rack.
I appreciate all of your input brother.

I can't keep doing nothing at home so I've grabbed Mrs. K, Li'l K, My Dad and drug them to the new YMCA just built up the road from us.
All new equipment and I can get Mrs. K back on track. My Dad is living with us now so he can get back into working out.
All in all this is the best thing for all of us. And I don't have to worry about all of the muscleheads who take up the squat rack and stare at themselves all day.
Get in, do my sh!t, get out.

You had any more blood work done? How much better are you feeling? What happened to the home gym?
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
"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.

Dedication and perseverence brother.HandyAndy said:
Those are the two mystical secrets.
You have to want to change. The change will not happen overnight so don't fvck yourself into believing you'll rub a magic lamp and shed 30 lbs in a week. Make yourself a realistic goal. Get smart about what you put inside of you and then move your ass!
I'll help you with a meal plan and workout routine if you want.
Do yourself a favor and be honest about your dedication to the process. It will pay off dividends if you keep focused on your vision.
I'm living proof.

Cool, can't wait to see the results.KarmaSutra said:
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I've allowed complacency to infiltrate my goal. My Dad is going through some serious health issues and he's now living with us.
This is no excuse whatsoever. I hold myself completely accountable for slacking but I do have to make sure he's in good health.
I'll be back on track soon enough Brother.
