"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.

Hey guys, I just got a job at a golf course where I'll be installing a new irrigation system. I'm basically just going to be digging ditches for 10-12 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Here is My Workout Journal so you can see how I'm training and eating right now. I'm currently doing Rippetoe's 3 day split program and I'm following EFFORT's Simple Starting Diet.

What I want to know is what changes I'm going to need to make now that I have this job so that I can still get the most gains possible. Obviously I'll need to eat more but more specifically what do I need to eat more of? What numbers (calories, grams of carbs, protein, fat, etc.) should I now be looking at?

I'll be starting work at 6am so no time to go to the gym before work, and I don't know if I'd be too exhausted after work. Do you think I need to change my workout routine because of this?

Hopefully I'll get enough breaks to eat regularly, if not, I'm sure we're allowed to drink water while we work so I could just as easily drink whey shakes while I'm working.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Thats a tough spot, diet wise i'd eat everytime the job allows and get a lot of carbo gain and pack that with me everyday to get in lots of carbs while working. When i got home i'd eat a huge meal then get straight to bed.

I'd probably just do 1 workout on saturday at first to see how things adapt.

I've got a new job doing overnight stock work (11pm-7am). While it is kindof physical, the biggest thing is getting used to that type of schedule. I'm gonna still try to lift and go to work. That carbo gain was about $12 for 7-8 lbs when my bro ordered it.
