"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.

You guys have probably seen many of these topics, but I cant find a fat burning workout for my obliques. I have big love handles that stick out a lot, my body would be in proportion if i got rid of them, you can see them through my clothes and everything, and I'm getting frustrated. I know I need to do cardiovascular exercises but everything I tried has failed, sprints, times laps, abdominal exercises, all of it. Can someone please give me some advice or a fat burning workout for my obliques, and some diet tips?
 

"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.

Abs are built in the kitchen, not just the Gym. I would definitely stick with the cardio and ab work, but make sure you are burning more calories than you consume.

Well I'm not trying to get ripped abs, I am just looking for a way to loose the fat around my core, because I know you can't spot reduce.

if you know you can't spot reduce, then why are you looking for a way to loose fat around your core?!!!

you just said 'I know you can't spot reduce, but how do i spot reduce?"

:crackup:

the only solution is to just keep getting your bf % down. eventually the love handles will disappear.

Oblique muscles can make your love handles stick out more. I used to do alot of lateral ab exercises, twists weighted balls, and also from wrestling but I have a lot thicker midsection than I used to. I'm 5'11 and wear size 32 or 33, but I have pretty low BF and 6 visible abs. But what I'm getting at is don't do any specific work on oblique muscles because that can cause your midsection to look bigger. They are good for stability in sports though so I don't care what it looks like or that I dont have a 28" waist.
 

"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.
