"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.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

This is the last part of my little mini-self improvment series.
Well, it's been a long way since Day 1. There were peaks and valleys, but overall, I can say I learned a lot about getting along with people, socializing and stuff like that.
Still not a fan of being social that much. But it's just a means to get what you want. It's kinda like making money. You don't like making money, but you need money to get what you want outta life. You wanna get laid, you gotta master being social.
Throughout this little improvement journey I did quite a lot.
I founded a after school group in school. I now have a circle of people to hang out with.
I try to invite people over to my house regularly.
I work out now.
Although I haven't really scored anyone, I'd say I fit into society better.
At the end of the day though, I still don't like society. Society is ****ed man. When you wwant to stand up, and be different, it drags you back down. Society is a cesspool. They want you to conform, and not live out your dreams and aspirations. The machine wants to control you. If you're different, it will relentlessly try to convert you, until you're a soulless drone again.
Well I ain't going down without a fight. Many people say that as a chink, I'm supposed to study 24/7, get straight As in AP courses, and eventually go to Princeton Yale or Harvard. I'm not supposed to have a love life. I'm supposed to date only nerdy Asian girls, if at all, and be an average frustrated chump.
It's hard though. I'm basically going against the flow of the river right now. But unless you go against the flow, you'll never climb up that waterfall.

"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.

Also, do you have a pullup bar? If you don't do one arm rows freestanding style.

It's not really an intelligence deficit, more of like a lack of social skills/common sense/repetitive interests for my situation.amohield said:Why are you doing dumbell deads? Where's your barbell?
Also, I know nothing about autism, but you don't seem autistic AT ALL. You seem like a really bright dude.
Many people view me as a man who's book-smart but with little practical sense/pretty awkward. I've gotten better though, I usually rely on my crude humor to carry me along for socializing. Needless to say, I do not like it very much, unless with certain people i like.
Whats wrong with dumbells by the way? I just find them easier to use.

You cant really perform a proper deadlift with dumbells.novaknight said:Whats wrong with dumbells by the way? I just find them easier to use.
Post your new, or the proper routine you use (reps, sets, currently weight (do you increase every time?)) Then we'll help you out properly.
