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.
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.
Hi AL
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
cutting requires lifting the same weight, doing the same routine as bulking. push ups wont retain mass while on a calorie deficit the gains are un substantial for bodybuilding. eating sufficient protein and lifting certain weight will retain mass/build mass while on a deficit.Originally posted by RedKnight04
Interesting, I was just about to come in myself and ask a few questions.
Most of them are anwsered in this thread which is very sweet.
My question is: With bulking up I understand the importance of drinking atleast a gallon of water per day. Now, I am in the cutting up stage and the 1600 Calorie limit daily. Also doing push-ups along with my workout. Basically trying to keep muscle mass so I don't look like a stick. Do I also drink a gallon a water in this cut up stage daily?
