Hey people, What muscle do we use to twist our torso around the vertical axis. Are that what the side stomach muscles are for?
"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.
Muscle that twists the torso

"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.

Those muscles are called the obliques and they are used to stabilize side to side motions of the upper body.

where are these muscle located and how can I strengthen them?

You can strengthen them by doing any one of these exercises:
1. torso twists (stay in a half sit-up position, arms extended with a medicine ball in your hand, then twist from side to side.)
2. side crunches (lay on your side with your hands behind your head and move your top elbow towards your feet, squeezing your sides. Remember to do both sides.)
3. Any other variations to sit-ups where rotation is involved.

Your Obliques are your "love handles", or on the sides for your stomack.
"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.

Use the following two exercises to strengthen the obliques (use dumbbells for the second one if you have no kettlebell access)

It's like u hold a db in one hand (let's say left) N u let your torso go sideways (so the db goes down) then u 'pull the db up with your upperbody.
