dudes in jail dont take whey protein shakes or none of that **** and still get jacked i think muscle building has got nothing to do with eating alott but in how hard and heavy you lift. besides they dont get fed that much. food is crap anyway.
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.
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.
If gaining muscle how nothing to do with eating a lot, please explain how you can gain weight by not eating over maintenance. Nobody is immune to the law of conservation of energy, I'm afraid...skeeloo said:dudes in jail dont take whey protein shakes or none of that **** and still get jacked i think muscle building has got nothing to do with eating alott but in how hard and heavy you lift. besides they dont get fed that much. food is crap anyway.
Sounded like you were speaking from experience there, heh :woo:shaunuk said:Eat your own prison meals, then buy 2 other guy's meals off then, each meal time, and buy a jug of whey every few days, and you're doing fine for nutrition, hehe-shaun
That powder stuff you see them taking isn't protein powder.They don't take protein supplements? Yes they do.
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.
Actually, your body does produce proteinmr_elor said:Okay, then where does the PROTEIN for building muscles come from? What, you think your body magically produces it?
Okay. Take your own advice, keep a journal (both lifting and diet), and let us know how that works out for ya.skeeloo said:i think muscle building has got nothing to do with eating alott but in how hard and heavy you lift.
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.
shirt on you're right, he looks bigger, but with no shirt the smaller guy'll look bigger 'cos of his better definitionlurker said:these men probably got a high percentage of body fat anyway, so they may come across as big . people with a high bf, always look bigger than poeple with a low bf. even though people with a low bf has better muscle defination.
lets take 2 guy for example (guy A and guy B) guy A has lesser body fat but guy b has more bf. when they both start hitting the gyms guy b will always look bigger being that he got more body fat. even though guy A might look ripped. guy b wil always get the attention from girls and society in general because they think he's all muscle and stronger when in reality he might not be. thats how these jail guys scare people with thier sizes. it's all fat. they aint got time to have a swimmers body. theyll get rapped.
actually they still look bigger without clothes. take 50cent for example and take stallon in rambo. 50 got the typical jail guy built while stallon got the fitness mans body. 50cent got a higher bodyfat than stallon in rambo. and 50 cent definatly still looks bigger. some might think he might kick stallons ass RAMBO TIME i mean. but stallon was fitter. all these building for women is a waste of time they dont know quality muscles when they see it.just like half the population dont know either.howardalex said:shirt on you're right, he looks bigger, but with no shirt the smaller guy'll look bigger 'cos of his better definition![]()

this is true, I know a black girl who can put 1" of muscle on her biceps with just sports in half the time it'd take me to do the same with awesome diet and heavy lifting...not saying white guys can't get as big but it seems to take longer and more effort...ryannath said:I'm white, but I do think that for the most part blacks do have better genetics than whites. That's why most of the guys in prison that are jacked are black. Some ppl won't like to hear this or may choose to say it's not true, but the past few centuries blacks were bred by whites to be very strong. They paired big strong men with big strong women to produce strong, healthy offspring and it still carries over. Just look at pro sports.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
