"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.

"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.

you might be experiancing joint pains, start taking some glucosamine. i just finished 6 weeks of german volume training, and my arm joints are in so much pain, glucosamine is helping them get better.

Try squeezing any small ball, such as a tennis ball, or whatever. Especially good when watching tv, anytime you're idle really.

Sounds like you've hyperextended your wrists.

I'd lay off for a week.

If you think those are painful try the palms up version!
 

"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.

i dont understand how you're getting pain. I have relatively skinny wrists, and they ARE weak. Because of that, specific exercises that require my wrist muscles get tiring fast such as benchpresses.

i'd give your wrist time to rest and heal. if worst goes to worst, i suggest seeing a doctor.

in the future, you might want to consider doing wrist curls w/ dumbells as a wrist exercise.

if you hurt your wrist u shouldn't be working out, but if you really must. I find that when using the stand up wrist roll up bar to be really good with or without wrist pain. In my opinion its a lot better than wrist curls. It doesn't much much tension on it, only on my forearm, but thats just me. When I had my wrist pain, I did that and didn't feel a thing. But again, that could just be me.
 

"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.

lol, no I hvae this problem too, but mine as only started sijnce I started lifting heavier weights such as 300 on my bench and tjhey hurt really bad after a long day or about 5 sets of 1 at 320, but I tried wrist straps and they might look a little messed up but work wonders, I think the site is prowriststraps.com or just search for it, but to strengthen your wirsts get a dumbbell and palm up arm at 90 degree curls with only your wrist moving arm staying still. Or like squeeze a tenis ball helps.
