"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.

Hi all,

My mother has a herniated disc in her lower spine, and always throws her back out when doing housework. The physical therapists tell her to do ab work (crunches, sit ups, etc) to help strengthen her core. I guess that makes sense, but she still has problems. So I cant help to think that she should find a way to directly work the lower back muscles too, and the increased back strength would make her work easier on her.

Do any of the trainers on here have any knowledge of this, or can point me to a place where the info is credible?

Thanks.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Sound advice from her caregivers, ie ab crunches, sit ups, etc. I decided to respond to this as I have a friend in my office who had a slightly herniated disc at L5-S1. It was giving him problems so he went to a chiro. The chiro bent him into some contorted position while "adjusting" his low back and shattered the disc at L5-S1. He got a surgical consult and surgery is imminent. He knows it was the chiro as he had an MRI right before he went and then again after. Point being, she should be careful about who she lets treat her and how.
