"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.

Do you have realistic standards?

I posted a picture in the health and fitness section. 10 months ago I underwent hydrostatic weighing which is pretty much the most accurate you can get. Go look it up, lazy weakling.
I don't care what you posted. Peddle your bull**** somewhere else, bozo the clown.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

6% is cross striations in quads and lower abs veins.
Maybe at 300 lbs it is. But most people aren’t at 300 lbs. I’m ~6.5% 175 lbs. I have some lower ab veins, not the quad striations though. My main form of exercise isn’t lifting weights. It’s extremely difficult to get sub 10% off lifting alone, which is exactly what most of these doofuses think I have done. I don’t. Lifting is just supplementary to everything else. I’m an athlete. Not a weightlifter or gym bro. That’s what differentiates me from them and why I’m able to maintain myself at this level.

You can see it at lower weight. Veins in thighs too. 6.5% is 6.5%.

Don't worry what you think the number is. If you can see your abs unflexed your good. If you have a tiny skin pinch on your abs your good. Definitely if you have lower ab veins your good.

Your body mass outside of muscle is counted towards your lean body mass. And once you get sub 10, every half percent has noticeable differences. I’m not making this stuff up just for the sake of arguments, you can look up the testimonies of competitive bodybuilders on other forums.
 

"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 235 6-8% it varies. But I see quad cross striations at lower bf, but my quads are developed.

I'm not making ish up either. My point is don't worry so much about the number, worry how you look. There are pics which give rough bf %.
