"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Questions about joining a gym.

1. Should I join a small gym, or a gym like Bally's Total Fitness?

2. How are membership fees paid? Monthly? Is there a contract?

3. My goal and focus will be on strength training and bulking up, but I wouldn't mind seeing a large number of attractive women getting there bodies fit. Is a bigger gym like Bally's good for this aspect?

4. How long does a typical person stay at a gym?

5. If you belong to a gym, please describe the atmosphere, why you like it, etc.


Thanks!!
 

"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.

1. Depends on your budget and what kind of equipment you need/want. Other things to take into account are hours of operation, how close it is to where you work, live, go to school, etc.

2. Depends on the gym. Most places will charge you an initiation fee...typically 100-300 up front, and bill you monthly. Gyms here usually charge 30 to 60/month. There's other fees at the start when you first sign up as well. Most gyms will have you sign a 1-2 year contact and give you the option to pay the year up front. Some gyms allow month-to-month as wel.

3. Most gyms have lotsa hot women! I think bigger gyms are better for this.

4. No clue...I'm not normal.... :D

5. I've met lotsa people from my gyms. They're pretty much always guys who are trainers, powerlifters, etc or other individuals who have an interest in strength and fitness. I've never really met women at the gym...

If you are in a small town, there should be gyms that give you the option of charging a small monthly fee. Long term contracts are cost-efficient however with that comes committment. If you're starting out, might as well stick to monthly contracts because you might end up NOT liking the place after awhile.

Are you going to the gym to get bigger and stronger or to add notches on your bedpost? Don't get your priorities mixed up.

To get bigger (but not huge) and stronger. I wouldn't mind a few flings.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
