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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
If you don't like it, stay out of the thread. This isn't a thread for bodybuilders.Originally posted by WORKEROUTER
i personally think those kind of competitions are stupid. lifting such heavy weight is not really good for your body. its true that lifting weights is healthy overall, but going overboard is definately not.
plus, have you seen the powerlifting guys? theyre usually some short squatty guys who look like they have a hernia. not something id wana strive for.
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.
Not sports, but they require a TON of strength. Those guys are amazing. Some of the cirque de soleil guys do crazy stuff too like a turkish getup with a human weight, or a bottoms up press with two 72-lb kettlebells, one on top of the other.Originally posted by Jin
well, I do circus arts and trapeze... I dunno if you consider those strength spors per say but they reqire you to have a large power to weight ratio... as well as finess and body-awareness in the air...
very hard to develope and something very few, few people can do and do well...
Best,

Squat: haven't maxed in awhile, probably 270 lbs (relatively crappy)Originally posted by Torn Victor
I used to powerlift, but I don't really have the correct body type for competition, nor would I be interested in competing.
What are your numbers?
