"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.

So I've been working on my health for the last year or two. Arms, bigger. Shoulders broader. Chest defined. Legs like tree trunks. Top and middle abs have definition and you can see the pack. Lower abs right above the pubic area is round and fat. Not hanging over, but not defined. A little fat on the sides, but a lot better than 1.5 years ago. I do 200+ sit-ups and leg raises ever other day. While it's helped the bottom part of the stomach is not defined. I eat a lot of protein and fruit. I've added in salads (I hate salad) and eat pretty clean and healthy. I also jog around 2 miles 4 - 5 times a week.

What am I missing?

Calories, how many per day? I have the best results when watching those calories. Too many, and they will go to your gut.

I track with MyFitPal, and I am shaving between 200 - 400 cals off a day.

Give it more time. As long as you are burning more than you are taking in (caloric deficit), you will see a shrinkage.
 

"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.

I'd like to suggest you to maintain a regular routine of life style like eating, sleeping and training timings.

You got to get to a crazy amount of low body fat and acquired muscle. The guys you see on posters or in movies are on what you call PEDs or GEAR. Its powerful drugs and combined with winning the genetic lottery. Keep at it man.

I've been doing HIIT and only eating from 8 - 7 five days a week. No change on lower stomach. The abs are there, but there is fat on top of it. You can see the abs from the sides, but the center is fat. WTF.
