"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.

Well, I am back after a long layoff from here and working out as well.

Not to go into the details of why I'd like some advice on getting back into lifting as I stopped working out in June (personal issues).

Before this I did the Deadlifts, Bench, Squat, Military Press all the compound ones and was on the 5x5 rippletoe routine.

What do you suggest on reps, sets on getting back into a routine not so much the 5x5 but something I can build back up pretty fast and remember I am no spring chicken at 48.

Thanks for the info and hope everyone is doing OK.

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.
