"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.

Anyone have the Push-Up Pros?

"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.

I have done push-ups for a while and that kind of stuff, and I lift constantly, and I have a body that women always compliment on. I got the push up pros as a surprise and I must say they gave my back a hell of a workout yesterday when I did about 50 push ups with them. They are recommended.

Push-ups hurt my wrist so I've always thought something like this might be helpful for me.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Hmm, I might check this out lol.
But most of those things on TV are a bunch of BS. I remember there was this golden wrist band which was suppose to give you "more energy throughout the day." Not. lol.

Their reviews aren't that good when you're comparing two products because few if any of the reviewers have tried both products; they can just tell you what they like or dislike about the one they purchased.

Here's a video by a guy who has tried both of them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nO4GcGpY9Y

It looks as if the major difference with the construction of each is that the Perfect Pushup uses heaver material in it's construction and has a thicker padded handle. The Pushup Pro is made of a lighterweight plastic which still holds up well and has a handle that is still padded but not as thick. There's more than a few home remedies that can be done to beef up the padding if it's really necessary.

Another thing is the value for the price. The Perfect Pushup ranges in cost from $40-50 while the Pushup Pro costs $20. Also, workout plans do not come with the base model of the Perfect Pushup, they're an additional $10. Workout plans come with the Pushup Pro.

So it's a choice on whether someone is willing to pay at least twice as much for a product which is heavier and was designed by a Navy Seal or buy a product which does the same thing, weighs less (good if you travel) and costs half as much. Oh yeah, it was designed by the guy who holds the world's record for amount of pushups done within a set amount of time.

Ammendment:
I just found out that there is another (basic) version of the Perfect Pushup. It looks more like the Pushup Pro. It doesn't have the beefed up metal handles but the padding is still pretty good. It comes with a workout chart and costs the same as the Pushup Pro.

"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Joe The Homo...phobe, just playing. Im sure there is not much of a difference in the Wal Mart besides much easier to return if they break. They may be made side by side in the same plant.

are there any other stores that sell the $20 perfect pushup? I checked kmart and they are all out, checked sears and a bunch of other store sites and I don't see any other stores that carry this item for $20 like kmart does.

I use a $5 ab wheel. It works effectively because I throw in a few sets during a lifting session and because it's just downright brutal. Most people hate it because it's hard, boo hoo. I can feel it in my abs, lats, pecs and triceps. As far as push-ups go, I do normal and clap, they help with muscular endurance and with reaction/athletic performance.

ppl in my dorm have them. one perfect and one pro, rofl. i've tried them, and they are harder than the real pushup, but cannot compare to the bench press. i believe it has something to do with stabliziation as well as different parts of the pec being fired because of rotation and thus flaring of the elbows

I just bought the Perfect Push-up at Walmart for $20. I didn't expect much, but I was actually surprised. They're much more effective than standard push-ups.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
