"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.

can you gain mass muscle, with exercises like push-ups, all kinds of pushups exactly, different types of crunches, dipps,?
and is proteinshakes, healthy? yes or no?!
 

"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.

You can gain mass from pushups and other bodyweight exercises, but your gains will be pretty limited and poor, unless you're a freak. Get a gym membership and do it properly.

Protein shakes are fine, just don't build your diet around them. It's a
"supplement" for a reason.

good luck

If all you did was WEIGHTED pressups, dips, and chinups, and something for the legs, you could get decently strong and big in my opinion.

Strap 50kg on your back and try and do one of the above. Can you?

Once you get a membership with a free weights gym, use one of the routines in the "Where to Start" thread. Stickied at the top of this forum.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
