"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.

Why don't pro athletes get hurt lifting?

I've never heard something like that reported. But say the NFL, all those players have to lift. Do they just stretch like mad too?
 

"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.

Lifting has very very low injury rates compared to most all other sports. Why would it injure you?

It's not like football or anything where you're twisting all over the place facing the unexpected and get hit at awkward angles or basketball where people always twist their knees from planting and turning weird. You just move weight in a predefined path built for exactly how your body is meant to function with well regulated form.

And they probably do get injured lifting sometimes but it's minor or they just say "he got hurt in practice."

a huge part of it is natural genetics and things like having thick tendons.

ronnie coleman (mr. olympia) aparantly has HUGE tendons, like friggen wire cables.

the larger your bone structure and the stronger your tendons the harder it becomes to serious hurt yourself. everything becomes minor muscle pulls.

but athlethes still do hurt themselves. they usually just train around that body part until it heals.

oh fyi, stretching doesnt do anything.

everyone use to say it prevented injury. now they are saying it may actually increase the rate of injury.
