"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.

At what age did you "fatten up"?

I hear from a lot of people (and see, and believe me it's not always pretty:) ), that at a certain age (24 - 30) you suddenly start gaining weight more easily. Most people gain fat though and not muscle.

I'm 25 and up till the age of 24 I used to weight 64 kg. Now I'm about 70 at 5'11.

Anyone have similar experiences? Can I expect to make "easier" muscle/weight gain in the next 3 years? btw I used to be a skinny ass mofo, at 18 I was about 5'8 and 52 kg's so it seems I'm maturing much slower than most.

Opinions?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

I'm sure habits come into play (eating and excercise), but I think your metabolism slows down somewhat as well?

I mean the extra 6 kg I gained was not from change of habit. Just a bit more gym. And I believe maturing as well.

I am also 25, over the past 2 years I have gained 30lbs of fat. Its funny I didnt change anything over those 2 years but my exercise habits, I stopped. But I dont think it was entirely from eating, I think my metabolism has slow down. Now, I am back working out, and getting more muscular, lean as the weeks go by.
