"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This journal is ace. Most people starting up a journal fill them with fluff about their lives, their goals and crap. You just say "my lifting journal" and get right into action. :up:

Would be kinda good if you posted routine and diet so people can get a fair understanding of how you have planned to lift.

How is posting your goals considered crap?

He may be trying to bulk on 2000cals a day doing hours of cardio and trying to increase strength by doing lots of isolation exercises.

If we don't know his goals then the people on here cant help him that much
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Just thought it was a breath of fresh air thats all to go straight into the action, wanted to give him a slap in the back for getting to the gym. :) Goals are important, so is routine and diet. In the beginning you need to get consistency for going to gym and form on exercises down anyways. So plenty of time to learn about goals and routines.
