"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.

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?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near 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?
