"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

My friend wants me to get him a workout plan. I got him on Rippetoes but he thinks just because there is only 4-5 exercises that it wont get him results, he tried it for 3 days and quit, then went on his own and started over training himself, doing 6 separate exercises only for his chest.

He is 170lbs
6 feet tall and about 15-20% body fat.

He wants defined abs, a cut body and muscular at the same time. I told him he needs to lower his body fat.

What do you suggest for him?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Tell him to read the Vault.

And tell him that working out is a commitment. Not something you can do in couple of months and expect permanent results.

Hes not on this site, i was thinking of getting him on Stronglifts 5x5 but hes gonna be a little b1tch about it, he NEVER wants to raise the weights. He keeps arguing with me, telling me sh1t like "you can work your abs everyday, it says so in the mens health magazine" "it takes 2 weeks to see results" hes ignorant.

Tell him it will take years of toil to get a great physique. That should encourage him. ;)

"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.

Then screw him, when he sees how great you look, he'll be begging you for a plan.
