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.
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.
SO...SO...SO.. FUKKING WRONG!! PLEASE READ THE GUIDE TO BULKING UP FOR AN EXPLANATION.
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.
I said IF HE IS USING LOW REPS. Low reps = 1 to 3. That would be like a powerlifter routine, which is crap for gaining size.
Not quite. You need to lift heavy to force the muscles to grow...however you need to enough work to create enough muscle stimulation above and beyond nervous system activity.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Curls are close to worthless for gaining bicep size... You want REAL bicep size? Do chins. I did 10 sets of 5 or something like that with chins for 1-2 days a week for a month, and my biceps started growing like weeds.Originally posted by MattB
Also another question
My bicep havent been getting stronger. I dont know why. I do the basic excersies, picther curl, barbell curl but I really dont see an increase in strength..
Again...so wrong.
If you do them heavy enough that you need to use muscular tension to complete your lifts, you'll be pushing your back AND biceps to the max, which means big biceps, big back - not to mention involving other muscle groups in it too. Biggest biceps I've ever seen on a natural lifter belonged to a guy who doesn't do curls, and chins have done more for me than curls ever have...
I have been lifting since January. I used machines back then and switched to free weights in April. When I started I was around 125 and now I am 150.
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.
