"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I have the V shape... very badly! Not in a good way at all. I have a 28" waist and a 42" chest (it was measured by a professional for a suit, no errors) and my legs look small too because my chest/shoulder/arms are so big in comparison. Should I just not work my arms and upper body at all and only work my legs because when I switch and use heavy weight low reps for my lower body and lighter weight higher reps for upper body to even it out , I still look the same.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Nan, keep your same upper body routine, just work your legs heavier. In my experience [this is me, you may be different] I didnt work my legs and started to look disproportionate, so I started working my legs but kept my same upper body routine, and my legs grew drastically, in fact my upper body grew quicker too. I read some where that your legs release a type of growth hormone when they are worked, true? I dont know but I do know that I made drastic gains after I incorporated a leg routine into my workout.

damn... heh if you could find where you read that I'd be intersted in checking it out. I HATE working my legs, and just can't seem to get into it for some reason. That could be a hell of a motivator if it's true though.

my legs are great! its all from cycling, but dont sit on your bike and think your going to get lots of leg muscles, its not a very effective way! Cyclings my hobbie, the only reason i got a lot of leg muscles is because of many hours of intense cycling every week!

spukee, it is true, deads and squats are the single most important exercises for overall body growth...you can read it up in every good bodybuilding forum
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Well, I guess I can't do much to argue that - may as well suck it up then. I've been gaining a lot in my torso anyway, so improving the legs wouldn't be a bad idea anyway.

Now back to your regularly scheduled topic... :D
