"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Update:

I'm at 173.5 now.

That's up from 160 At the end of December. That's 1.35lbs per week :)

I had my dad's personal training do a bodyfat % measurement on me and I'm at 8.7%. Maybe my scale wasn't really off all that much.

Given where I'm at in my studies right now, this is the best it's going to get right now. And at over 1lb per week, I won't complain.

Still no gear. No fancy supplements. Just consistency.

My bench is up to 215

I got the book Starting Strength 3rd edition and realized I had been doing the compound exercises wrong. I was closest with the bench.

I went down last week to 225lbs from 275lbs on the squat to focus on my technique, and that was a good decision.

Deads are today with the new technique, and I will be going down from 265lbs to something more manageable so I don't hurt myself.

I would rather rep lower weights and be performing correct technique than rep higher weights using inefficient/dangerous movements.

That's all for now.
 

"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.
