"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

This is what happened, I pretty much got the common cold for about a week and a half, eating nothing but soup and drinking water, and just as I get better from it, i've been told i've shrunk. During that period I didn't really lift any weights at all, so I'm wondering if this is normal. I'm so angry at myself right now.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking 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.

dont be angry. i've had bronchitis for 2 weeks. and last week i didnt hit the gym cause i was taking cough medicine. if anything i lost probably 3lbs.

it would be natural to lose a pound or 2 cause it's common for someone sick.
Just maintain your food intake and get back into it as soon as you recover, im returning to the gym monday from a 3 week break.

Same happened to me, but you should gain it back very quickly when you return to the gym and get some oxygen pumping back into your muscles.

I was sick for a weekend. I think I went through exercise withdrawal, because I was so damn frustrated that I couldn't work out (well, I *could* have forced myself, but I'm not that dumb :) )
 

"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.
