"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.

Hey y'all,
I armwrestled a guy for about two minutes straight (and neither of us ever won) last Saturday while drinking. The next day, I noticed that my shoulder was kinda sore and my elbow also.

On Monday, I went ahead to the gym anyway because the injury didn't seem that bad anymore. But I ended the workout about four sets early because my shoulder was getting really sore again (the elbow seems to be fixed, for the most part).

I haven't been back to the gym yet and I was thinking I should maybe hold off for a while.

What do you guys think?

Also, I've recently upgraded my lateral bar sets to 4 x 10 x 156 lbs. Previously, I was only doin 144 lbs. So the heavier weight might've been straining my shoulder a bit even before the armwrestling. I don't know.
 

"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.

yea you didn't retract your shoulder blade..so there is a ton of opposing force opening up your shoulder unnaturally, thats also what happens when you don't retract your shoulder blades when benching.

It also happens if your pressing the bar to high on a flat bench press..it also happens when you do behind the neck presses, it also happens when you do behind the neck pull-ups, it also happens when you do behind the neck pull downs, it also happens when you do up right rows.

umm, I'm sure it's bad to tear biceps, but I would like some advice on FIXING MY SHOULDER. I don't plan on armwrestling anymore; I've read some bad things about it on google since the incident
 

"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.

Do an internet search on rotator cuff injury. You'll find some answers there. Excercises, therapy suggestions etc.
