"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.

Is it possible to be going "too low" on squats?
I'm curious because I've heard conflicting opinions on this.
 

"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.

If you're just aiming for muscle hypertrophy, nope.

If you are aiming on power, or a sports specific goal, then yes, you would need to activate the fast twitch fibers by... fast movements!

As a general rule, it is safe to go as low as you are comfortable without losing your arch, and without your knees going WAY past your toes (a little over is OK, when your flexibility improves this wont be a problem).

Meanwhile, you can increase on your flexibility by stretching.

Squatting deep isn't bad for your knees, it's not squatting deep enough that's bad for your knees. And inability to keep arch doesn't justify not hitting full depth. You should go at least to the point that your hip joint is lower than the top of your knees.

Exactly. Due to the way the load is dispersed, squatting to at least parallel is actually better on the knees than half- or quarter-squats.

And if you can't keep your lower back arched you're doing too much weight. Do not squat higher; instead do not lift so much weight.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Woops, my bad. That was a reply to me misreading "low" for "slow".

As a general rule, go as low as you can without compromising form.
