Heh, good idea with the ignore. I'd do it myself, but I kind of like driving by savage car wrecks to see what happened.
"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Not as a general rule, genetics and age play a role. A hardgainer could never get away with that, but an average-above average trainee might.

Ya I know, but I don't have the time to respond to every piece of misinformation this guy puts out. And for every person that points out some of this bad advice, he just copies and pastes stuff from bb.com, and writes 2-4 replies in a row (look at this thread) to say something that could be said in 1 reply. The more you argue with him, the more he'll post since he's on the comp 24-7. It's funny how he says he works out 6-7 days a week, if by working out means posting on sosuave, then yeah I'll agree.
The guy claims he has photos of his progress, yet can't post them and wants you to add him to MSN so he can show them to you, but in all reality, he's prolly gonna sign you up for dozens of different porn mail lists. Not that I'd bother, at this point they'd probably be photos of someone else anyway.
People can listen to this stuff at their own risk.
"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.

I don't completely disagree, but I will still not recommend playing soccer/doing cardio etc every day if you're trying to add muscle mass, unless all you're doing for cardio is walking to get some cardiovascular fitness. Low intensity cardio will usually do more good than bad, even help gains by increasing appetite.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

As the author of this thread, I don't care about cardio at all.
I wonder how you can keep optimal reps for bulking (4-6 reps)?
After a coupel of sets I am usually quite tired to make more than 1-2 reps in the next set. But I feel my muscles can work with less weights.
So either I should wait longer between sets (5 min? 10 min??) to get to 4 reps per set again, or I should decrease the weights.
What is a good way to keep the optimal reps for bulking?

get a spotter, do 6 reps per set, and make sure you can get the 6 reps on your first set. Then do 3 sets. If you start losin a little speed, have your spotter give you a little boost. Do your reps forced if you have to (spot doing a lot of work).
Focus on making the lbs go up every week bro.

There is not way I find a spotter: people I know don't give a s*** about helping on a regular basis. It would be ideal though to find one.
But anyway, what you said essentually equals to lowering the weights and doing 6 reps. Ok, I'll try that though it not that easy to do with a barbell. Much easier with a machine.
"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.

Forced reps are great for the last set of the exercise. Real burners.

The guy's never gonna do it. He's a troll, and the moderators won't friggin' delete his posts because some of the stuff that he copies over from bbing.com is halfway accurate.
