"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.

Alright...well...I figured I'd keep track of my progress over the summer in terms of weight lifting, just to gauge how often I am working out and what I am doing so I can look back on it later.

Right now...I'm about to be a senior in high school, and I'm on the school's cross-country and track teams. But after training inconsistently and having two ****ty seasons last year, I vowed to train more consistently this summer to make up for it.

Last year, my average time for a 3-mile race was about 19:00 or a little less. For the 800m, my average time was about a 2:09. Over the summer, I'm hoping to train for the 3-mile races, and get my times down to the 16:00s.

So, like I said before, I want to keep track of how much I am running and how often, and all of that so I can gauge my performance.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

So yesterday I ran for about 45 minutes, about five or six miles.

Today, I ran for about 35-40 minutes, about four miles.

Yesterday, lifted shoulders with 12.5 lb weights. Bent over lateral raises (5x15), standing lateral raises (5x15), and front raises (5x15) then one superset of 10 reps each.

Today (7/14) ran for about forty minutes, a little less than five miles.

"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.

yo bro, do squats and stiff legged deads. Work your glutes and hammies, they'll boost your speed.

Explosive movements.
