"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.

Stop wasting your money on whey, creatine, vitamin and oil tablets and eat some real food instead. You don't grow off powders and pills.

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

I haven't spent any money on whey yet. You may not know this but flaxseed oil and vitamins are good for overall health of the body. I want to be healthy and fit not some bodybuilding freak. I am eating REAL food, just look clearly at my diet, chicken, eggs but i also added some pork, beef and tuna so get your facts right buddy.

MM is telling you the truth...a little nasty about it maybe...but the truth none-the-less. Your aren't just trying to be fit. You are trying to gain weight, and you do it by eating a lot. Although i think your diet is pretty good, and if you are gaining 4-6 lbs a month from it, then its perfect. Don't change anything. But if you aren't seeing any more than a pound or two a month, you need to change it.

invest in whey immeditately. Get a 5 lb jar and have it before and after lifting. including 3-4 real meals, you will get big in no time. But at your size, like everyone says, there is no room to be picky on little details. Just 2-3 whey shakes and 3-4 real meals will do the trick.

You do grow off whey protein if you take enough along with normal food

It's just a protein top up mate, nothing more, you grow off real food. Sometimes I use whey, sometimes I never do and just eat 5/6 meals.

"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.

At his size MM he doesn't need 5-6 big real meals to grow, he can grow off what i said. Plus if you add raw eggs to whey, i've heard it has a food like effect on the body...it all depends on what HIS results are. if he gains 4 lbs a month, i'd say don't change anything.

Why is your deadlift 30lbs lighter than your squat? Are you still using that hack squat machine?
 

"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.

On the squat you should be going ass to grass, of course some people can't manage that because of their biomechanics/lack of flexibility.

Often beginners aren't able to squat low because they lose their arch (for the above reasons-of course you can't change your torso/limb ratios). In this case you can try box squats or front squats. Then whilst you are doing that you work on flexibility until you are able to get to the lowest depth you can.

So I would try and get a video of you squatting to see whether or not you maintain an arch and to see whether your lower back rounds at the bottom. If so, you will have to do what I mentioned above. I lay out everything to do in JohnnyIrish's log if you need to do it.

Keep it up.
 

"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.

Bent Rows
50@5, 50@5 (significant decrease)

Pull ups
@8, @8 (barely made these)

Week 6 Day 2&3 was a no go.(needed time to recover from this damm cold)

Week 7 Day 1 Workout A

Squats
95@5 there is this guy(he's always says "what you have in limited supply you must you as economically as possible") that points out where my technique is wrong and explains how to do it right. Quagmire911 i have good flexibility, its just that i hold too long when i at the bottom and find it hard to push myself back up. Anyway he started to explain all kinds of scientific theory of how a workout should be structured and how the different must part work and all kinda complicated stuff. Anyway, he says the weights im using is too light and that i can do more(cause i haven't reached failure). So i give it shot.
115@6 (the guys then helps me to perfect my technique)
125@5
135@10 failure @11 (i actually did these much better than the previous sets with even better form, they also weren't that hard for me to do)

I couldn't feel the strength to continue with any more exercises for this day. I will rest my legs for this week(the pain is starting to kick in) and only work my upper body.

Deadlifts
165@5 (forced it here)

not feeling it today

Alright seriously thinking of switching to High Intensity Training to failure in one set. This is making more sense that just following a routine that i don't completely understand. HIT i understand and plan to switch to it Friday.

Looks like your getting stronger, are u making weight gains? What does your diet look like?
 

"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.
