I've been thinking about getting this done in the next two-three years when I'm in my 20s. I have a visible six pack now, but I want the type that you can stick a quarter into. I just don't think I have the genetics to get it. Any one else considering this? I'm going for the John Basedow abdominal look, though bigger everywhere else(www.fitnessmadesimple.com). I've heard that he had this surgery as well. Also, from what I read, once the fat between the individual ab sections is gone, it won't come back. You need a solid foundation and a low body fat to be successful with the surgery in the first place, though.
"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.
Ab Etching
- Thread starter Metaphor
- Start date
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Nothing in my post remotely replied that the link I posted covered ab etching. The most logical place to put such a link would be at the beginning or at the end of the post, not in the middle after a sentence that doesn't even mention the procedure. Now, since I mention John Basedow, have the quote in parenthesis in that very sentence, and then the link leads to his page, I think it's quite evident it was put there so people could see what type of look I was talking about. So..I guess the question is..wtf are you talking about?
Sorry Prose..I reread that and see I came across a little pissy, I haven't had a very good day. It's basically liposuction on a very small scale for the fat in between the abs. Here's a few links:

"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.
