"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.

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 ,,
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
