"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.

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.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
 

"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.

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:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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