"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
 

"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.

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?
 

"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.

I run the 100, 200 and 4x100. And yes, this sophomore transferred in from this other school, and shes quite the babe. Not sure if theres any other cute girls, haven't seen the whole team at the same time.

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)
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
