"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Does lifting weights make you look younger?

"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 am 40... going on 41 and still pull girls in their 20’s. I have always lifted weights but there have been times where my diet was garbage. I have a picture from when I was 32 and I look horrible... puffy face... looked old. When I combine weight training, cardio and a great diet I look much... much younger.

I just took two entire weeks off of all training and went to the beach. I planned this as a good time to rest and recover from training. I ate as much as I wanted and actually ate mostly foods I forbid myself from having the rest of the year. Chicken parm, bbq ribs, tons of pasta and fried foods... a ton of alcohol. It showed in my appearance... I lost all definition... vascularity vanished... my face looks puffy and swollen... so yes... to look your best... sleep, training and diet can make you look 10 years younger!

I'm about to go to lift weights. Lifting weight is a part of picking up women well. The more muscular you are, the easier it will be to get women to have sex with you. Less game is need to seduce when muscular. Men not overly muscular can benefit from lifting weights. Lifting is good for testosterone, especially when combined with no porn, no mbate, a good diet, and 7+ hours of sleep.

Definteky plays a big part.

Although my 3 year younger brother who hasn't touched alcohol, cigarettes or drugs, not spent excessive time in sun his whole life, trains religiously, perfect clean diet looks more worn/older than me.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Absolutely - up to a certain age.
Guys will hit 2-3 walls generally as they age.
Once they hit that last wall though, they'll still be attractive to women close to their age but no longer be attractive to the really young ones.

Lifting, more so keeps the the skin tight, which tends to loosen the older you get. So besides a good body, it naturally tightens up your face and makes you look younger as a result.

Yes, also remaining lean helps with that. Most men over 40 are going to be late teens bf % at best by the time they reach early 40's.

I agree with you but I've seen the "skinny fat" body types all too often amongst the older crowd to know that you MUST stay lean AND lift weights to appear attractive. Guys that only diet still has loose flabby skin most noticeable at the pools/beaches.

I am age 44 however I don't look a day over 34.. And this mostly down to clean diet (unless it's cheat day) gym/training 5x per week and one day of cycling long distance cardio.

Drinking lots of water certainly helps.. As for muscles and the ladies? Yes it's definitely get you a few more points SMV wise.

Infact I have piled on the muscle in the last 3-4 weeks and when I am out & about I get many looks from females & even dudes.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
