"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

so I can finally squat 275 now.
I'm very satisfied with that.
I think it's the highest on my swim team.
:)

another thing is, while my legs are looking very sexy, my pecks are really small because i can't bench (i hurt my rotator cuff). What are some exercises to do that won't hurt my rotator?
i know for a fact that push ups and flat bench will hurt it alot.

i'm 16 btw, and right now i'm taking zyflammend (something like that), and fish oils to help my shoulder. My doctor and my dad (also doctor) says i should be taking ibiprofen (sp?? lol), but i really hate taking man made drugs. I read a couple books on it... is it really that bad for you?

thx.
 

"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.

congrats on the squat man, as for the bench i'd say experiment with different exercises/machines for chest to see what doesn't cause you pain. Also go very very light

Nice squat man. Can you bench with dumbbells? Do dips hurt? Chest press machine? maybe experiment like effort said

Use bands.
Do rehabilitation exercises.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Depends how you use it I guess, it can work really well though.

Was the squat ass to grass? If so, congrats...

As for the chest try incline/decline and different grips. A shoulder width grip would take some of the pressure of the shoulders and put the pressure more onto the tri's.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

well it wasn't touching the ground, but it was breaking parallel by like 10 degrees.

i tried incline today, it didn't hurt. I did a moderately light weight (95), and my grip was close together. The close grip took most of the pressure off my shoulders, and i think thats how i hurt it in the first place with the flat bench.
I benched with my hands on the bar wider than my shoulders.

thx guys.
