"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
 

"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.

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.
