I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
So if big pecs IS UGLY for men, then IS BIG PECS, good on women?newbie81 said:Best chest exercise:
heavy bench press
stretch pecs with db flies/low db press
don't only work pecs, big pecs is ugly for men, men need big shoulders & big necks, concentrate on overhead strength.
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.
idd, watch out for stretching, overdoing is bad.Warboss Alex said:the chest responds extremely (structurally) to stretching but it's easy to overdo if you're not careful.
newbie81 - I like your style. let the pecs stay on the pretty male fitness models, what we want are huge slab-like traps, shoulders like cannonballs and a back as thick as a brick wall. guys like that turn more heads than puffed up pecs do.
Yes I like women with big breasts.brucevangeorge said:So if big pecs IS UGLY for men, then IS BIG PECS, good on women?
Arnold IS HAD big pecs. IS UGLY?
No is no ugly.
You know.... b1tch tits are not pecs. Why wouldn't you want a nice muscular chest?newbie81 said:Yes I like women with big breasts.
Men should have big legs, big shoulders, big neck, wide back. Breasts is for women.
"Les gouts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas".
your body will allow this by making the chest bigger as well. you make this process easier by direct chest training but even if you didn't train chest I doubt your pecs would stay the same size as long as your squat and deadlifts were soaringAnd you do realize that you cannot have a big back without a chest that is proportinatelly as strong and large. You body will not allow it. IT will limit the size that the back can grow for safety reasons. To prevent injury.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
you can't compare biceps with chest. but working your back will make your biceps AND your chest grow.brucevangeorge said:Ok, so what you're saying is....
Extreme example:
If I go and I do heavy ass barbell curls, I'll get inhuman biceps? Including triceps? Without doing any other exercise to stimualte Tris?
The biceps potential size and strength will be limited by the size and stength of the triceps. Have you seen a guy with huge Bis but no Tris? Not likely.
Same goes for chest and back. They are antagonistic and if you have antagonistic muscles overpower each other....

but hell, you're 19 and know everything, right?![]()
yeah but .. oh, have it your way.brucevangeorge said:I don't know everything and I pray I never will, but I was simply comparing biceps to chest because of the relation between the antagonistic muscles.
Chest, back. Bis, Tris.
Hmm, good point.Warboss Alex said:yeah but .. oh, have it your way.
I've never seen a heavy squatter with a small chest though!
