"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.

I'm so pissed. I've been going to my local gym (rather than my basement) for about two weeks now and gained a good 4lbs. So i'm finally into weightlifting, eating right and all that.

Now I go down there and they tell me due to a change in insurance policy I can't go in until i'm 16.

That's a month and a half away. That's another 5lbs that I could gain, that were just stolen from me. I mean I could use my basement, but all it is is a undersized (meant for like 12 year olds) bench and a few free weights.

Why does **** like this always happen when you're starting to make progress? :cry:

EDIT: I still want to gain weight. I don't care if it's fat, I'll worry about getting bigger now and turn it into muscle later. Yeah it's not the best thing to do, but it's really the only thing I can think of now.
 

"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.

I did a lot of sets with pushups, onearmpushups, chins, jumping jacks, onlegged squats, step-ups on a chair and rows lying on the floor and holding on to a table with some weight on my chest. Did this for one month three days a week while the gym was closed. I didn't lose any strenght. Just maintained.

You're too young to stress out about bulking. In fact no one should stress about it, but YOU have plenty of time so you have less of an excuse.
 

"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.

Play basketball and do some plyometrics, and bodyweight exercises for a month. Basketball for calves and cardio, plyometrics for strrength and endurance, and bodyweight for muscle.

Do stuff like pullups, chinups, those pushups on your head... etc.
