"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.

Pain in the leg after running, need advice

Hey guys,

I go running every two days. The problem is that after only 10-15 minutes I start feeling pain in the front part of my leg (between the knee and the foot). It feels like the bone is aching, but who am I to know.
It goes away sometime after I stop.

Anyone has been through something similar? Is this normal?
How do I get rid of this?

Thanks,
Hedgehog.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

It's a badly-kept secret.
See a pediatrist...

Sounds like shin splints. All you can do is rest them, but it can take 2-3 weeks for them to go away if they go away at all. I think they're caused by a combination of the following things:
Running on hard surfaces(like concrete/asphalt)
Genetics(me and my two siblings get them, none of us are overweight either)
Switching running surfaces(like between grass and concrete)
Overtraining

Agree w/ chim-chim, sounds like shin splints. They suck, and can hurt like hell. I quit running b/c I began to ache more all over doing it than not.

Running is the most fukkin destructive activity on your joints/bones in the legs for sure.

If you must do cardio, try swimming out, if that is an option for you, unless you just love to run I guess.

Ibuprofen does work though on shin splints. Taking 2-3 before you run will make you oblivious to the pain. :)

shin splints

i used to have those when i played lacrosse.. it sucked.. i would run the mile or 2 and then while i was standing there it felt like my legs would turn to jelly on me and i had a really weird aching feeling in the front.. someone suggested taping my calf so the muscle would not detach from the bone as much as it was

I don't think that taping your calf would help at all. The only treatments are really ice, rest, and/or ibuprofen.

I weigh 65KG. Why is it important?
I run on asphalt.
What are "shin splints"? :confused:
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Look up "shin splints" on webmd.com or something, it should answer most of your questions.
