"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.

With the deadlift my hands should be around shoulder length or just a little bit bigger right? Oh and at the end pull your shoulders back for a few seconds, right?

and in regards to the squat my shoulder blades should be pulled back to tense the back correct?
 

"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.

Another question about deadlifts. When starting the deadlift motion, should I feel such a strain on my knees, or is that not right? It's not terrible, but it just makes me wonder if that should be there.

what do you mean by strain on the knees? the deadlift motion is initiated with the hips (leg drive) yes. does it hurt your knees?

I dunno, I just feel a lot of pressure on the knees at the very beginning of the lift. It doesn't really hurt.
 

"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.

You're likely pushing from the balls of you feet. push from the heels. lift your toes if you have to

Or are your knees buckling in or out and the pain is on the sides?
