"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.

I remember hearing some people being told they are wrong when they said thta after excersize their six pack looks more defined. You muscles do not grow straight away it takes time to see more definition.

I have seen this happen aswell and whilst any one who says your muscles cant grow straight away, is correct, people who say muscles look bigger are also correct!

Darker skin makes you muscles look more define. Excersize makes your body overheat and your veins dilate bringing blood ot the surface to cool off. Whilst it is most obvious on your face, it happens on your body aswell. If you are white it will make your skin look as if you are slightly darker, so even tohu your muscles are still the same size, they do in fact look more defined after exercise (regardless of whether or not you exercised those particular muscles)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

^ I dunno about that




2 main contributing factors are
1. "Pump" as mentioned above, which is just masive increased blood flow to the affected muscles, and, also
2. Lactic acid created from working the muscles that hasnt yet got flushed out yet

Actually, it's called muscular hypertrophy.
 

"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.

Some of these posts are scary. If you don't know what you're talking about, sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut.

It's exactly as MetalFortress said. Targeted muscles are engorged with blood due to that muscles need for extra oxygen when under stress. It's usually referred to as a 'pump'.

It is not hypertrophy. Hypertrophy comes later, as the muscle begins to repair.

It is most definitely nothing to do with tanned skin or flushed skin or whatnot.

In future lets try and keep H&F topics reasonably scientific - guessing alone is seldom grounds to lodge an 'informative' topic.

"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.
