You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Honestly - i wasn't feeling the workout till the leg press at the end.TheStig said:Yeah dude must've been a sick workout to have 4 PRs in one day! I really despise seated leg press though, it just feels awkward to me. The normal 45 degree leg press is much better...I used to do that in HS..it was awesome because you could hit numbers that you would never dream of squatting..hit 715 for 2 reps back then....but I realize now that squatting is king
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.
ill start a seperate log for the dianabol, i think - it will be after my birthday, so like 2 weeks or so.switch said:very nice! (borat accent)
i got difficulty in lockout, my grip gives away and the bar starts to slip outta my palms. any suggestions?
hows your roid project coming along?![]()
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Yeah, I get that. It doesnt completely dishearten me, and I'm not going for any max's for a while, just concentrate on some volume.TheStig said:Stayin' consistent! Don't worry about the missed max though. The thing about current 1RM's is that they seem to be really touchy...for me anyway. If I'm not completely in the zone, there's no way in hell I'm getting it that day. Good front squats too![]()
gotta get that pump!TheStig said:Gotta love those 21s! I haven't done em in a loooong time but I may have to soon just for fun.

thanks manKrueg said:Congrats on the rep PRs.
Like?:crackup: :crackup:TheStig said:Nice! How do you like the deficits?
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.
