"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

My legs are still sore as hell from a workout earlier in the week. Yesterday I was still having trouble walking up stairs. I am still sore today but did make it out to do some MMA and one they got warmed up a bit I was able to work today.

But my question is, when you are sore, should you completely lay off using the muscles until they are completely pain-free again?
 

"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.

i don't think so...just lower the weight if you have to, but continue to punish them... as the old addage goes "no pain no gain"

But doesn't the pain mean that the muscles are regenerating? By continuing to work them while they're sore are you stopping the healing process that makes them grow?

That sounds like a recipe for overtraining. I'd recommend taking a couple days off from lifting until you feel better. The adage "no pain no gain" is a recipe for injuries, your muscles and nervous system need to recover.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

No it will actually help the recovery process. By working out, you get blood flowing into your legs. Blood has nutritients, needed for recovery.

The best thing to do when you have sore legs is to train them again. Just do it light, the goal is recovery, not exhausting the legs once again.
