She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
You wanna curl your hair?I'm thinking about curling some, too. I wanna get some muscle...
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.
seems like you have no idea what to do.Originally posted by Juggalo
I have "man boobs" and I have a decent gut...
I'm looking to lose my gut and most of all...my "man boobs"
I'm thinking about curling some, too. I wanna get some muscle...
Suggestions and advice would be appreciated!
No sh!t. That's why he's asking what to do. Cmon now. Alright man you definitely need to cut. Click here to learn all about that. It's also stickied at the top of this forum. And by curling I'm pretty certain you're talking about bicep curls. Your going to need some dumbbells for that. Either join a gym or make a home gym. I workout at home and I can tell you that all you need to work out your whole body is two dumbbell bars, a good amount of weight plates and a bench. You don't need any of those fancy machines or anything, free weights are better. Good luck dude.Originally posted by iHatePants

You're being made fun of because you're asking very basic questions which have been answered before, and you can find the info you want through the stickies or using the search function.Originally posted by Juggalo
Thank you!
Thanks for being the ONLY one to not make fun of me. People come here for help but then most of you all treat them like crap...is that the way you treat other respectable guys trying to become a DJ? Jesus Christ...
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.
It is when they say that they want to curl to "get some muscle". The only muscle you'll get by curling is in your biceps. Conversely, you'll get muscle EVERYWHERE with the big lifts, such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. I don't even curl, yet my arms are growing fast because I do so many chin-ups.Originally posted by Juggalo

You won't even get biceps from curling. Try doing 100 bicep curls 3 times a week - I guarantee your arms will stay exactly the same size.Originally posted by MetalFortress

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.
What the hell are you talking about? The guy has a high body fat % (as evident by his post), thus the fat around his chest is causing the breasts to swell. If he runs on a treadmill, eats right, and lifts weights they will decrease.Originally posted by Ken785
those man boobs are called "GYNO" short or "Gynaclasma" or something. the only way to remove those is surgury bro. sorry. thats like $5000 out your pocket.
If you do bicep curls with some weights you'll definatly see them grow. I used to do no exercises at all, except bicep curls, and I could see them get bigger every 2-3 weeks in the first 2 months. After that it didn't go as fast, but I'm still making gains, even 2 years later.Maybe you just didn't do the curls correctly, because I seriously can't see how this couldn't work for anybody.Originally posted by Warboss Alex
So did I. And I tell you, purely working your biceps won't make them grow very much at all.
