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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Effort thanks for the kind words man. Its actually not that bad if you want it bad. The three hardest parts to my opinion are :EFFORT said:wow 18 years old and being able to follow a diet like that is impressive keep up the good work

1. getting started
2. eating tuna and mayo before bed time
3. seeing guys whose diet suck and who dont work legs gaining crazy amounts of weight with roids. Trust me theres more than a few at my gym.![]()
Btw effort hows your training going ?
Dmatter trying to keep up to me is gonna get hard budGames on !
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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

yeah if you can get a hamburger or some steak in that would help after your workout. Chicken is pretty light in the calories which is why it doesn't make the best postworkout meal.frenchbeauty said:Todays workout:
Squats 1*5 @ 215lbs 1*5 @ 225lbs yeaaa buddy ! Two plates today. I had to take a break after my third rep though for a few seconds.

I agree, you're on the right track and much more consistent than most guys your age. Keep it up!I-tallionStallion said:Everything is looking good, keep it up frenchy.
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.
