"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.

I started working out 3 times a week, 'bout 4 months ago, with a veiw to gaining mass.

I have noticed Mass gains, however i have not noticed much of an increase in strength. Is this to be expected?

Secondly, my gym has no Barbells. And the heaviest dumbells are 16Kg's. If i want to train seriously, do i need to train with Barbells?

Cheers.
 

"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.

Cheers!

Free weights are best to use in every case possible because they target more muscle fibers. Dunno about gaining strength vs. gaining mass, but barbells and dumbells are best to use in any case possible.

Find another gym.

Different workouts have different results. If you want more strength, look at low volume powerlifting/strongman workouts.

Johny your mass gains will dry up as well soon.

I guess your reps are going high or adding more sets if you have limited weight. It's not that they are dumbells it's that you need more poundage otherwise you will be in muscular endurance terratory.

Get weights that alllow 2-3 sets of 6-10 reps.
