"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.

Alright, At this point I'm horribly skinny and ..fairly short (used to be worse).

I can't go to a gym, and I have no weights.

Just assuming all that, what could I do to effectively improvise?

My muscle comes fast, but I want a routine that won't leave me unbalanced and one that I can more easily get into habit.


I know it's a lot of thinking, but I'd really appreciate it. Being weak sucks, and being genetically weak sucks too.. But I'm going to improve!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Ask your bucktooth g/f to castrate you with her teeth.

Results always come quickly to beginners, then it gradually slows down. Seriously, why not just go out and buy some weights? There are a few options.. there was this term I'd suggest you google.. I forget it though :p something that alot of gymnasts do that puts on muscle without weights. Hopefully somebody else knows what I'm referring to.

But without weights, you're limiting your gains.
 

"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.

Yeah maybe you're right, where would I buy them? I seriously have no idea...

Yeah, don't try to half-ass it, get some weights. *Why* can't you go to a gym?

Anyway, loads of shops should sell them if you keep your eyes open...I think even places like walmart might sell weights?

All you really need is a barbell, an adjustable bench, a fair bit of weight, and preferably a very cheap/homemade power rack. Got an empty room or garage?

If you CAN'T get access to weights (and I don't see why not):

Pressups, pullups, dips, squats.
