Provided that I'm not gonna workout for many months, I'd like to know if there's some way I can gain 10 lbs, without it being just fat. I'm still pretty small (5'9 and 155 lbs), is it possible if I eat tons of food and smash myself with cardio?
"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

No, you can't. You need to apply resistance to the muscle in order for it to grow.

that sounds dumb
through excessive cardio, you're going to burn whatever you've taken in, resulting in weight loss instead of weight gain...common sense!

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

most sportsmen do weight training as part of their regime.Adone said:The fact is that most big people I know (not necessarily huge, but jock-wise big) never lifted in their life, they just ate tons of food and did lots of sports and exercise.
notice most of the college jocks eat like **** as well - their genetics and metabolism allow them that.
the only guys I've met who are huge without weight training are guys who work an extremely physical job like stonemasonry and to be in that line of work you need to have the genetics for it. (huge joints)
(bottom line: if you're not big without lifting weights, you won't ever be)
there's nothing to stop you improving your bodyfat, endurance and cardiovascular ability even if you're not working out. you can also rig up ghetto weights if you have the tools, this can help.

Thanks for the advice Warboss, but I can't lift ghetto weights either, because my wrists are fùcked up.
I'd like to clarify that our perceptions of huge are most likely really different. I'm talking about guys who are like 5'11 and 180 lbs with a 12% bodyfat... nothing exceptional, but definately better-looking and bigger than most folks with 12% bodyfat... Is that attainable through sports and body exercise without weights only?

Possibly, via great genetics. Realistically? No.

What's wrong with your wrists?
I hope you're not using that as an excuse because I had a wrist injury (slight tear of a ligament) myself and I'm still recovering from it, but most excersizes require minimal, if any, wrist involvement i.e. torque.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
