"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.

Hi, since there is no gym at my apt complex and I don't want to pay the outrageous gym fees at 24 hour, I'm looking for a cheap way to get ahold of some equipment so I can work out at home. I think a simple pair of dumbells will work really well as I can get a lot of exercises out of them (opinions?). I probably want to get something that is adjustable from 5 to 50ish lbs. If anyone has any suggestions on what brand or type to get, or if I'm even on the right track here, I'd appreciate them. Thanks!
 

"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.

Great idea. You might wanna try those bow-flex DBs they advertise on TV all the time. The kind that adjust from like 5-55 lbs, they look pretty neat and wont take up much room. You also might wanna pick up the Body For Life book, it has tons of workouts for DBs, and has a lot of great info for taking care of your body, I think its about $20

I'd look for something that goes heavier than 50 lbs because that's gonna end up being really limiting. After a few weeks you'll be pumping out 20+ reps on all your exercises.

Edit: And as a side note... I've seen the ads for the bowflex dumbells, and as nice as they look, I'd go somewhere else personally. Just don't put much faith in their products (especially considering they had problems with overhead bars breaking or something? yikes:eek: )

I can't seem to find a dumbbell set higher than 50lbs on gijoes website. Does anyone know someone who carries a bigger set? Or will I have to buy addons

yeah dude... depending on how built you wanna be, you might need DB's up to like 100-120 lbs.
 

"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.

What I did was start off with a no nonsense iron disc set, cheap and fuctional, don't pay for gimmicky brand name stuff.

Start lifting and just keep an eye out for second hand discs, you will almost certainly pick up a barbell with them cheap. You'll find loads of people giving them away almost, because they've quit.

You may want to get some micro discs, very useful for progression.
