"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.

Is it bad to do the same workout routine 3 times a week? I mainly just work on most of my upper body each time I go to the gym and then maybe do ab exercises at home on off-days. My goal here is to bulk up.
 

"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.

Oh my god, read the sticky. You can probably workout two times a week since you don't use your muscles as synergists in back and leg exercises.

Squats are for pussies, real men bench press.

I actually work on my back too when I go to the gym. I do pull-downs, reverse-grip pulldowns, cable row, flies, declined benchpress, military press, curls, and will soon incorporate squats in there. Also, will be working on the abs on off-days.

If I had to do only one exercise, it'd be squats.

Also, if you mean flat bench press I wouldn't recommend it at all. I've yet to see someone tear a pec from incline or decline bench, but flat bench is a killer when you move up into the heavier weights.
 

"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.
