"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.

Spes, what is your deal ??? why are you constantly looking for trouble with me ??

The closer the bar to you, the less stress on your lower back. As you know, I had lower back problems in the past.
This is one of the habits that I took since then: keeping the weight as close as possible to me. It hits my quads (not the knees!), but puts less stress on my lower back. Which I prefer."
Thae BAR is always close to you when you deadlift, but you bend your knees to soon on the concentric.


Apparent you must 'absoulutely must know' is not good enough. Here you mention its a lower back exercise:
OK It seems that stronglifts has had a back injury..so it prevents him from deadlifting correctly. well guess what..stronglifts SHOULD NOT be deadlifting, why ?? because his back problem prevents him from doing the lift correctly ?? He has to dangerously alter a PROVEN method that is meant to put STRESS on the back..why does stronglifts have to alter the exercise...because IT IS A BACK exercise and stronglifts HAS BACK PROBLEMS.

Now for someone NEW coming on the forum asking advice on how to deadlift..WHY THE HELL would anyone show them AN INCORRECTLY MODIFIED DEADLIFT from someone WHO SHOULDN'T BE DEADLIFTING ??????????????????????????

I got nothing against stronglifts or anyone on this site..I actually think its cool that he's got a cute blog with some basic information..but guess what it has flaws..sorry stronglifts, but if you were my client or someone I knew personally, I would NOT have you deadlifting and I don't reccomend that you do it !! WHY because your back problems prevent you from doing it HOW IT IS MEANT TO BE DONE..so really I'm the only poster that has enough guts to look out for your best interests and safety..but for some reason you and everyone else doesn't seem to get that..


- Again, way to go GENIUSES !!
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Because you are constantly at odds with everyone who is respected here.

If your advice is so great, then how come no one ever agrees with you.

Thanks, guys. I even got some good information in this thread through all the shouting. :) OK, I'm off to work on my form.
 

"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.

WHO SHOULDN'T BE DEADLIFTING ??????????????????????????[/B]
I have a better question than those posed in this thread.

Sorry to go off topic, but I assume what I have to say is much more interesting.

Debate:

Why do such a high number of message board trolls and/or teenagers:
1. Use many punctuations when one is sufficient?
2. Put a space before that punctuation?
3. EXPECT THAT THEIR WORDS HOLD MORE WEIGHT WHEN THEY ARE LARGER?

Is it genetic? Is it passed down by their parents through folklore? Do they have meetings where they set secret rules to be able to identify each other in the wild?
