"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Hey guys, I joined this site about this time last year. After logging in and reading the more useful posts, I stopped visiting this board, because I felt like it was time to put matters into my own hands. I recently came back because I am home for christmas break, and I have a few spare days in which I just sit back and relax.

I was looking through some old pictures of myself, and found one around the same time last year. I believe it was taken on the 23rd of December of 2009, so it isn't too far off. This is what I used to look like

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I realize that I'm skinny, so I've recently started bulking like a mofo, and I just started hitting the gym up, looking to get my weight up from 147 ---> 165 by the end of the semester. I remember coming to this with absolutely no social skills, no girls in my life, pretty much the epitome of AFC. I played CS:S like a pro though, sadly I don't think I'll ever regain that skill :(. Right now I am juggling 3 girls, my social life has skyrocketed, and I'm overall a much much happier person. The way I think drastically changed, as did the way I act.

Thought you guys might enjoy seeing how the material in this site can actually change people. Cheers!
 

"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.

Before: What did you do with the cute wee little boy, lol?

After: Hmmm,, I think you should get shirts with more patterns (go to Macys and see) but I do like that V neck. Nothing to wrong with your body but if you wanna work out it's a plus too.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Love the before pic man! Totally had an urge to come through the computer screen and give that nerd a weggie!!!

Good transformation so far, but remember its something you'll be working on for the rest of your life. Nice choice on wanting to bulk... the world is quite a different place when you're physically elite. A great way to keep track of your progress is to start an online workout log/journal.... lotsa guys keep one in the H and F forum. You can get feedback there and its a great way to see where you came from.

Keep it up!

Inside her mind

You're so gay.

Seriously. G A Y.
Tah! I've been saying this for months

  • The American men bashing
  • The winston Wu videos
  • The "no 10's in america"
  • The continuous talk about feminzation

I mean this guy is a closet homo,

On a positive note great job to the OP for stepping his game up
 

"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.

Amazing transformation mate!!!

And you are only young, so have much more time to become the best man you can be.

That's the benefit of before and after pics, since it really highlights the changes that occur. Otherwise, since you see yourself daily and each change per day is only minor, you can tend to forget what you used to look like.

I recently saw a pic of me 10 years ago (when I finished high school) and that has given me renewed emphasis to keep up with my own self improvement program.

PS - Big Jimbo - I suspect you may actually really be a 16yo Asian girl, but regardless, your posts crack me up. Keep up the good work!

Wow, what a big change one year can make.

In the picture before, you see a young man who does not see his potential. In the after picture, you see a man who knows his potential...and has gone after it as a man does.

Audiophile, mad props to you. If you can achieve that change in one year, think about how great of a life you have ahead for yourself.

Embrace it!

Aging to adulthood is an exciting process, including the extra weight and maturity provided by going from 17 to 18. That being said, I'm not sure the credit should go to SS or your gym work. It was probably 75+% maturing, 25% or less your gym work. Just being real.
