"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.

I am interested to know if anyone has experiences with how their faces changed after losing weight or working out.

The reason I'm asking is that my eyelids are puffy/fatty, one more than the other (though you cannot tell it from my profile pic at all).

Also, my cheeks (jowels) hang down a bit.

I did at one point lose weight and put on decent muscle but i don't really have any pics from that point in my life, so I can't compare how I am now to how I was then.

Right now I'm about 154 lbs at 5'6, haven't worked out consistently in over 5 months. A bit of a gut.

Anybody have personal experiences, before/afters (of the face), or articles that talk about this?

Also, how much can harmones such as testosterone affect facial structure from working out? In what ways?

Thanks.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

well, it's not really possible to change the bone structure of your face. the only significant factors dictating how your face appears is the amount of skin on it, and the amount of subcutaneous fat beneath that skin.

hydration also plays a role, how much water are you drinking?

Here's the best example I have on hand of a before/after photo of weight loss, mostly emphasizing the face: http://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?...ead&entryID=859417&adTopicID=17&categoryID=50

Steroids tend to make your jaw more defined & masculine. But this is also determined by bodyfat. Luckily one of (if not the first) place you lose fat is from your face, but I have no idea about your eyelids. You lose fat from everywhere, not one spot in particular. But some parts may be more stubborn than others.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Wow, those transformations were DRASTIC. I'm only slightly chubby right now. Not massively obese like those dudes. But it still shows up in my face and I'm pretty sure my features will be more defined with less fat on my face. So it can't hurt anyhow.

It's encouraging to hear that the face is one of the first places to lose fat.

Time to hit up the gym. :trouble:
