"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
