"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.
Your max bench press.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'm not going to say what else is wrong instead I think you should remake the poll using these options.0-49
50-99
100-149
150-199
200-249
250-299
300-349
350-399
400-449
450-500
BTW I'm taking Stats now and I couldn't resist making the chart
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Stats sucks...good luck with that. I can throw up 250 and i weigh 190. I had hand surgery 7 months ago...one day my hand will probably snap.Maxtro said:Sorry bro but this is a bad poll. First of all you shouldn't make the names public. For the record I can't bench 450+ but I'm not going to seem like a wuss for picking anything lower

And EFFORT, niceeeeee.
My best bench so far is a poultry 192.5lbs. Not tested in two months though so hopefully I'm over the 200 by now. Shall see in 4 weeks or so.
I'd like to see some video's people
Many are guilty of not using a full range of motion...I'd also much rather this was a deadlift poll
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

playa99 said:lol i dont i can only deadlift 150lbs 1RM lol but my bench 1RM is 205lbs and my squat 1RM is 264lbs,so yeah need to work on deadlift a lot
Let me guess, you used to do bench only and you squat to parallel?
Either that or your just proportioned that way. Btw if you squat to parallel, don't. Just incase you do...going all the way down is where it is at.

Hmm.. is squatting to parallel wrong? (so far I've been going to parallel or slightly below)
"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 can bench what 72kg? (at least i think the bar was 20kg - that's what someone told me) and 14-15 year olds are benching 160lb+ , damn i'm behind.
my squat and deadlifts are also appalling, lol no wonder my gains were small.

:crackup: really????.....now tell me something. Do you bring the bar to your chest and don't bounce the bar? Can you do it without a spotter upright rowing 50% of it?? How much do you weigh? how long have you trained? What do you eat? I BET your so full of crap. Stop posting, we don't need little kids around here with no knowledge dogging people who work hard. I hope your mom gives you a spanking. :box: :box: :box: :box:FiNs2BeCaUgHt said:
BTW I've always done incline. My max on that for 1 rep is about 200 lbs. I don't know what that translates into for regular bench but must be pretty good.
EFFORT........HOLY FREAKIN CRAP MAN. ughhhh haha

Master Don Juan
Also FiNs2BeCaUgHt: Idk where you got that 190+ stuff from. Theres a chart at my schools weight room. Its based on Light, Medium, and Heavy Weight people. That 190 pounds your talking about is for 230+ pound freshmen. People over 6'1 should reduce lift requirements by 25% I think, maybe less.
"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.
