"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.

I just started working out a couple of weeks ago and the day after my workouts i have been noticing no pain or stiffness.
This normal or do i not have a strenuous enough exercise.
 

"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.

If you have only been training that short period of time dont worry about it. You should be practicing the movements and learning technique. So maybe you are training lightly so as not to get sore which is fine when learning the exercises. Gradually start to up weight and intensity from here on and see if you get sore then. Most people only get sore when intensity is upped to over and above what the body is used to. Doesnt necessarily have an effect on gains - certainly not strength gains.

it is really too hard to say whats going wrong or why you are in pain

but the usual reasons ppl feel pain with their workout is that

1) their form is very bad

2) usually their form is bad b/c the weight they are using is too hign but it doesnt seem to be in your case

3) most ppl do not stretch b4 and after workout
i know that i used to hate working out b/c of how i would feel a day or so after id leave the gym, jus simple streches of the body parts you are working b4 and and after you workout can make the difference

4) another possibility may be that lactic acid is building up in your body. It is always good to get on the tread and walk for 5min and then do a fast jog for 5min. It gets your heart goin

Ok so even if you dont feel pain or stiffness the next day doesnt mean your exercise isnt working.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

No pain doesn't mean its not working. When I first started working out I felt stiff as well and my instructor said I would. But your muscles get used to it.

Now I can tell when I'm not working out ENOUGH because I'll get that pain back again. It took me about 3 weeks (I think) to loose the pain when I first started but now it doesn't take that long when I come back from not working out for a while.
