"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Well... Ever since I've been working out and getting bigger, I constantly feel the need to check myself out and stuff. I even subconsciously judge other guys on their size now. Hate it. I can't really help it but think to myself whether people are noticing if I'm jacked or not. Take this for example. I'll be walking down a parking lot and I'll look at my reflection in cars to see myself. I flex a lot in front of the mirror in my own time and check myself out. haha (no homo)

I do get a lot more respect immediately which is sweet. Don't get me wrong, I'm a lot more confident, I just don't like the feeling of never being perfect. Now, instead of congratulating myself on my progress, I feel the need to be more and more perfect. I'd be considered pretty jacked at this point. 5'10 172 like 12% bf, however I still have a long way to go (goal is 185).
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I know exactly how you feel. I would always be checking myself out in glass windows, car windows, various mirrors, etc.

I don't do it anymore. It's really not an attractive quality. In order to change this, I think you might need to change your mentality of the whole thing.

It's normal to check yourself out in the beginning when you're growing, man. Don't kill yourself over it.

Key is to check yourself out in the BEGINNING. Otherwise you're going to end up like this guy.

So your message is long term narcissism = douche bag?
 

"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.

I've made my mentality more towards strength-seeking. I actually like being toned now instead of being big looking in clothes like I used to.

Deep down, we all work out to look good. Our health is not as important as our look, unless we have an immediate health concern. It's ok to check yourself out. If you look good, you feel good. Nothing wrong with that.

Looking good is a result of my training which is for strength.
It's all a means to an end for my sport (boxing).
So looking good comes by itself, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
