"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.

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.

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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.
