"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.

Yeah, just let your lats get bigger and you'll have that V shape in no time. I recommend bent over barbell rows/dumbell rows or wide grip chin ups for great back development.

I had to get my weight down by 4 lbs because it feels like my bones are about to crash. I hate my small frame: I feel like my muscles could load up to 150 lbs but if I tried, my bones would crash.
 

"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.

You're shoulders are not being given time to recover mate; you're performing well below your potential.

I don't know about this, manu... It looks like my lifts are getting higher and higher every workout, so maybe I could go on like this until it works... I mean, if I'm getting stronger every time I perform millies, it probably means that my shoulders have recovered from the previous workout.

However, you and many other guys in here are better-informed than me, so tell me where my reasoning fails, because I don't really want to limit myself. I want to press my bodyweight as soon as I can.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

how about adding some more exercises to your workouts... i never do less than 5 in a trip to the gym. plus ur not really working ur other muscles by doing that, ur body is gonna get out of proportion. find some example workouts either from a trainer, online, or a magazine...i prefer the mags myself ( i do the flex magazine get ripped in 12 weeks right now) theres plenty of stuff out there 4 u to get a better workout

Muscles take a long time to repair after serious lifting. Lifting damages the muscles, so after lifting we not only need to wait for our muscles to repair to their previous strength, we need to wait for them to heal beyond their previous strength. This can take 4 days or more, regardless of how the muscles actually feel.

By using your shoulders on consecutive days (chest, shoulders) you are attempting to beat previous strength records when your shoulders are at their weakest.

If you wait 4 days before working the same muscle group again you'll be able to life a lot more, and growth with occur faster.

At 5'9 and 150 lbs, I don't think I have to worry about growing out of proportion yet. Plus, I'm working out every muscle, since I'm doing Squats, Military Presses, Bench Presses and Bent-Over Rows. What am I missing?

I'll start to do isometric exercises when I get to 165 lbs.

"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.

There are too many exercises to list, some include incline/ decline presses, curls, skull crushers, deadlifts, dips, etc... a big part of working out is changing your workout to keep your muscles guessing. Lifting can be complex if you truly want results you should talk to a trainer or find a program done by a professional. I read a magazine or two every month. My favs are Flex and Muscle and Fitness, give em a try if you want they're cheaper than getting a trainer.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
