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.
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.
)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.
Let me say respectively that if you feel that way then you are doing something wrong.Quiksilver said:
pointless comment, how about having good posture AND firm glutes.
- FALSE
- FACT
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.
This should explain it. It's an extract taken from The Definitive Book of Body Language by Barbara & Allan Pease. Good read for the aspiring DJ:dj ben2 said:
I squat 400lbs, it's not possible to do that much weight without proper form, so yes I am doing them properly. I admit I don't quite go ass to grass, but its well past 90º. I deadlift approx. 240 right now with very good form(i watched videos and there's a mirror in the gym), I can't be exact because I took last weeks' back workout off due to a tennis conditioning course the same day.
How about we discuss this abit before calling eachother idiots?
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Dude you can squat 440, but only pull 240? Something is wrong!Quiksilver said:
if you do your research you'll find that the knee is placed under no pressure going down ass-to-grass as the weight is transferred onto the hips, hamstrings and glutes (what the whole damn thread is about). conversely when you stop at ANY point before a true ass-to-grass squat the knees are used as brakes to 'stop' the weight (as the natural mechanics of your body are harmonious to ass to grass squatting and NOT quarter squats, parallel squats or somewhat below parallel squats, only full ass to floor squats) and thus incur all the dangerous pressure.donjuanjovi 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.
