"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.

I've decided to revamp my goals. I recently posted some pictures, and I will be judging my progress every two months, as opposed to every one.


I'm still debating on whether or not I should run track this spring. On the plus side, it'll be my cardio, and help me lose some bodyfat, but on the negative, lifting early in the morning, and needing to eat another 300 calories or so may be a pain in the ass. At the end of this week, I should have my lift numbers (winter break f*cked me over) and will be setting goals, both short and long term.
 

"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.

You have years to lift, but only a few more chances to do sports in highschool. Just cut down on lifting for that season, and start back up in the summer.

agreed, sports in high school is when you got the chance to have fun with your friends until graduation. Then you get a new set of friends.

I suggest that you do the sports.

Man, pre-season conditioning always kicked everyone's ass, lol.

What events do you do? Cute girls on the the team, yeah?
 

"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.

Well, I took about a month and a half off of deadlifts, and the past two weeks I've been doing them.


Deads up to 335x5
Bench 185x3 (it's been two weeks, that may go back down)
Squat (havent squatted since my tendinitis flareup about 3 weeks ago, but I stopped after 275x5)
