You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
and fyi, i know you idolize this certain person who is already thereYou've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
.If you want it go for it but while your at it why not learn to not take some things so serious (like you did in this thread) and laugh as everything in the right light can be funny (hell I even laugh at myself all the time as I sometimes unintentionally do some silly ****).Mad Manic said:
Thats freakin awesome dude. I believe in you...no sarcasm, Quag's goals are different from yours and mine haha thats what makes it funny. If you work hard enough, and want it badly enough. You'll get there.Mad Manic said:
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.
. Maybe do another year then just hit the roids up..., haha well, you're gonna have to do em eventually init.I don't want to take roids until my natural potential has been fully used up. Too many people take roids too early, get too happy and giddy off the fast gains they get off them. But what happens is, they burn out too quick, their body gets dependant on roids and to make further gains they end up having to take huge dosages which eventually is unsutainable and dangerous. Best way is to train natural for as long as possible, then take low dosages for as long as possible, etc. Then if you're good enough to get to the pro ranks, you are like Levrone standard and you still have room to improve and use some more drugs etc. to go that step further.shaunuk said:Given the amount of growth you've had in such a short time, I'd say it f*cking possible mate, go for it
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.
16 months seriously, another 2-3 months where I was just doing cardio and messing around on machines. I just got back from a cracking 2 hours arms session, they must have been well over 18" by the time I finished. Awesome.yungahdubz said:

LOL, it started enough so innocently doing heavy close grip bench for 3-5 reps, by the end I was on the preacher curl machine doing dropsets lol. Very good workout though, I love doing low, med and high reps. Best way IMO, you need strength and size period. Food time now, take care folks. Train hard, eat well and sleep tight.Quagmire911 said:
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
As for that, I think as long as you aren't skinny it doesn't matter. Strength to weight ratio is my main concern. If you want to be big fair enough, but if others want to be lesser in size, you should accept that.Mad Manic said:
Size is down to personal preference, having strength isn't debatable.Rampage1 said:

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.
