"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

"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.
looking forward to more workouts
lol, exactly. I had a few of my friends chuckling at me the other night... Here's the story:
I was at a friend's house friday night, playing some beer pong a bit drunk. My friend was talking to these chicks and they were talking about the gym or something. The chicks were like "let's see your muscles!" ...then, they bent their arms at the elbow, you know.... flexing the bicep, evidently the one muscle everyone thinks should be giant if you go to the gym.
I came over and drunkenly explained to them that my friend shouldn't show them his bicep, because his bicep exercises are kind of lagging, and that's what I got him working on. I told him that he should totally flex his pecs and such to try to show them his best muscles.... his benching and squatting is pretty damn good. I was explaining that you should flex the muscles that are good on your body... they just thought i was weird

You got your head screwed on right mate - keep at it, youngling. I'm the same; my biceps are a very strong bodypart, but if someone asks me to flex I'll always pull my shorts up and show 'em my quads. (in the summer anyway)Originally posted by semag

Double - keep up the good work mate. Soon you'll be doing 120kg for 6 as a warmup squat ..
You might also want to look into rack chins instead of regular chins, since you seem to have those downpat. And tell them girls that squats is what puts mass on your chest, not wimpy bench press."Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

Lifeforce - sorry man i wanted to workout today and the day before....but i really couldnt. my whole body hurts, im totally exhausted mentally and physically. that would be okay so far but i also have lower back pain because i slept on the floor in the hotel(didnt want to pay
). and the usual shoulder problems. but a new injury is comming up, i felt it since a few weeks but now it feels pretty severe. it's proabably because of the dips i feel a inflammation of the tendon sheath comming up and that would mean i couldnt train for weeks! so i wanna take it slow.im thinking of a new workout plan for this hard times.
squats(If doable), chinups, static holds.
repeat 3times a week. pretty spartanic

Alex - haha in my dreams =P can you give me a link for the rack chins, i never heard of them. Ok man i will educate them girls next time about the importance of leg training - i already done this to some guys who didnt want to hear it so why not explain the science of bodybuilding to some girls,maybe they will atleast pretend to listen that they can accidentantly touch my chest or something!

dude :/ I'm really sorry for you. hope it heals up quick. It must be all the dipping as you say. Do you work with good form on the dips?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
YES!! only some weeks ago i could barely do one chinup..........................with one handOriginally posted by Lifeforce
Good lifting.. I see definite improvement in the chin-up section of your lifting.
man this workout WAS hardcore with my current physical constitution......but well when you guys wanna see some REAL hardcore stuff then i will give you, but i dont know if tomorrow because of work. but next workout will be hardcore.
dunno, i think my form is good on the dips but im not an expert and it's hard to tell. i think it's more the ****ty homedipbar they are so tiny that i have to use a grip which ****s me pretty good
i hope one day i will get back to benchingWarboss Alex

"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.
