"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.

"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.

As for the DB/BB set.... you're gonna need more than 100 pounds. A lot more, most likely.

Any of the benches oughtta work, but I'm hardly an expert on the matter. I work out in my college's weight room, so I've got good stuff, and home equipment hasn't really entered my consciousness.

Any suggestions on how much weight? I'm kind of on a budget, so I don't want to spend over $100 on weights alone. Know of any place I could get a cheaper BB/DB set?

Here's a novel idea. Get a damn gym membership and save yourself a crapload of dough. Use the extra cash to buy some much needed supplements in order to get a lot bigger, faster.

Industry.....A Membership being less expensive than buying your own??

NO WAY!

Granted it is more social but there are also more distractions.

I'd go with the Linex if you're just starting then after you've made

good gains and you need to isolate your muscles better with

specific machines, consider the gym.

"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 dunno, feel free to comment sosh, or elimadate, but I think ya might wanna look into a squat rack and a simple bench instead of the bench specifically for "chest exercises."

The squat rack can do the legs and chest, and if you get the right bench to go with it, you can do some inclines and declines too... just a tho't cause I was looking into getting some of my own stuff soon.

Anyone have any good stores to look at?? Sears kinda had a crappy selection, costco was no good, wal mart was ok, and that's all I've tried.

I looked into Gyms, the closet Gym to me is like 20 miles away. It's kind of hard to go there 4 days a week while balancing work, social life, etc.
