"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

For the past week or so my bicep has been giving me pain. Last night I did squats and my bicep is still hurting 18 hours later (keep in mind all I did was hold the bar steady on my back). It has gotten to the point that it hurts when I flex or squeeze the muscle. What's the damn deal?

It may stem from the fact that I haven't been curling as much, but have stuck to my regular tricep workout intensity. Has this happened to any of you? If so, how did you treat it and how long did it take to heal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

"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.

You probably just pulled/strained the muscle from the position it was in holding the bar. May take a week or two to recover. Go easy on it until it feels better!
