Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

that's neat seeing pictures of your set up. No mirrors?

"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.

which barbell you like better? the straight one?
The curved one where my future gf can play with light setup and for myself to do the superset bicept curls and 12 kg single dumbell for powerlift curls.. Those magnetic resistance crosstrainer giving the same experience and feedback on my feet same as the commercial ones that i use at gym..
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

hmm.
its funny, I try to prepare for my future boyfriend too.
I have 2 of most sporting equipment (bikes, rackets, skiis((no boots yet for him)), life jackets, extra sparring wraps, running belts, rods, gu ns...) Going to be a little selfish and just buy weightlifting equip. for myself only.
I used to say all that was for my future husband but now I know its boyfriend only.
Good attitudes Focal. Thanks for pictures. Its energising and interesting to see other's setups.

I decided on a cheaper place to live so even less square feet than here, so no bench or machines but I intend to get more plates at least and I'll pick up my skipping rope at the house later today to have here.

There's a lot of freedom having your own cardio crosstrainer there. There's that climbing a staircase one that I really like. That might be my second machine after a rower like Xeno has.
Far into the future though for the weight and dedicated gym room I want in my future space...maybe 3 years? We'll see.

Well thats so fvcking good plans.. Im glad your passion towards your own well-being were put on your top priority, for women i suggest the same setup that i have, only lighter maybe max 28kg for bench setup and 6 kg single db for bicept curls, those crosstrainer have endless numbers of benefits, shapping your hips and having great ass, i repeat, HAVING GREAT ASS, stronger bone stucture, burning fat at multiplying rates even hours after using it ure still in fat burning state, for my age at 40 the women im sleeping with 4 of them saying im 32ish.. I guess at 65 i wont look old at all.

Edited.. 28kg for bench

Got my resistance bands in a few days ago; definitely an alternative to weights. Feels good to have my entire body sore after a YouTube workout, after several weeks of gyms being closed.

Still looking for dumbbells once things calm down for the second wave of COVID.
I doubt gym will open anytime soon those bussines were screwed, even if it open i wont go in there.
 

"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.
