"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

“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.

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.
