"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Hi guys,
I've been lifting weights (dumbbells) for the first time recently and have been working out pretty hardcore...from a wussy 5kg per arm i've made it to 12kg per arm (and still progressing :) )

For example..when i'm working out with dumbbells and Iam holding on tight and doing my exercises...the nerves on the end of my palms start to tingle....

could this mean I need to take a break/lifting too heavy weights?

Also how many hours a day should I work out...?

At the moment I am working out as much as I can...
almost an hour a day...
doing repeated reps with
-curls
-concentration curls
-hammer curls

been working out for about 3 weeks ,,
 

"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.

Dont grip the weights hard. Firm-ish but thats it.

It could be so many things, but it's nothing you really need to worry about. If it keeps on going for a long time or gets worse, see the doc if you're really that bothered about it. It's not something I could really pin down without seeing how you do things etc

By the sounds of it you're only working your arms. Work your entire body. Do some dips, pull ups [narrow and wide grip], Squats [with some weight on you] etc.

You get a much better work out with a bench and barbell, or even better, a proper gym.

yes I am working out at home..
and yes I am only working my arms at this stage (I want big biceps!)

I think I need to slow it down a bit now....
work the rest of my body like you guys said ....

hopefully the tingling sensations i get sometimes will go away this way .....

I think not having proper bench etc is to blame...
thinking of it .. due to incorrect posture I exert too much pressure on my wrist area when I sit down and do curls whilst watching tv....

As a sidenote, big bi's and small tri's actually makes me boom out with laughter, because they look that damn silly :)

Whole body workouts change your entire mindset, or atleast thats my own personal experience :)

good luck with the training
 

"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.
