"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.

Me: 23, 5"10, 165lbs, around 17% bf. Used to go to the gym, now been out of shape for the last year. I got the whole diet thing down, but a few pointers would be good too.
Goals: increase stamina, lose fat

I'm planning on running at 5am, 5 days a week, 30 minutes every session (increase by 5 minutes every week). I'll be running in the street, so I can't know exactly how fast I'm running but probably have a good estimate. Also, I'll be keeping a log.

Does anyone know any good sites? recommendations? suggestions? personal experience?

"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.

Get started on cardio. Jogging running.. etc. Once you have some endurance and your body is used to the stress, and you shed off some of that 17% fat you can hit the weights.

First you have to do some cleanup.

Question: since I'm starting in the morning, would it be a good idea to start running on an empty stomach and then eating after I'm done?

I can't afford protein shakes in the time being (just for the record)

You don't need protein shakes to lose weight. Just eat protein based foods, lots of fats, some carbs, and stay away from sweets and sugars. Those you must control. No soda or any of that crap.

Mix this up with some exercise and you will feel like a million dollars in a couple of weeks. Although at the beginning you will feel like crap because you are not used to it.

Running in the morning before breakfast is not a problem, might gear you up for the rest of the day. Don't skip breakfast though! If you ever want to skip a meal make it dinner. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
 

"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.

Lots of fats? like what? I thought I was supposed to avoid fat for the most part
