"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.

Without a personal trainer, I'll tend to daydream between sets. My work outs will take longer, I'll lose focus, and ultimately I won't end up getting the full workout in. Or I will, and I'll lose too much of my day.

Can't afford a trainer at the moment, so I'm looking for a cheap (no monthly fee) iOS app to replicate the trainer experience as best as possible. I can simply use a timer on my watch, but it would be nice to have something that actually moved me through my work outs - something that would yell at me would be ideal - and would allow me to log my progress into the app.

I am currently using JEFIT but it's not a very intuitive app. It's very buggy. But I like the selection of exercises available (even though it's a chore to revise routines).
 

"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.

Easy to fix...

Take whatever body parts you are doing and start cycling thru them with little to no rest...almost like circuit training but not quite

IE, you are doing Chest, Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders

You would do something like:

Bench Press
Military Press
Tricep Dips
Chinups

Then go back and cycle thru for however many sets you are doing.

However, the real answer is that you need to change your mentality at the gym.

Its a business trip and should be treated as one. No talking, no wasting time, all business.
