"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.

Good progress?

I know the pic's not the best (and I've gotta take more for you to get the full picture), but from what you can see how's this look?

Click for pic.

Been working since Feb 6.

BTW, I'm 5' 8", 140 @ 17 years old.

Thanks...
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

IMO you need to put on a bunch of weight. The pic really doesn't show anything but I can tell you that just by reading your stats. What weight did you start at?

However I know different people like different looks so I can tell you this, I'm 5'8 165 with 11% BF and I simply look athletic, not very bulky. I'm really looking for a Vin Diesel-type look which I think would be around 190. I may stop before that weight but that's a while away so I'll worry about it then...

Anyways seems like you're on the right track just moving slowly. Get your diet in check and if at all possible post up your stats I'll put my measurements (like bi's chest neck etc.) if you want.

I tell you I've been struggling to gain weight to no avail. I've literally been the same weight for 7 months straight. This is pathetic pretty much (a good way to describe it).
A few months before I actually started lifting I gained like 10-15lbs but that's that. And I've been stuck at the current weight.

I should probably be getting more supps/whey, etc.

You don't need more supplements. You need more food.

You've been stuck for 7 months? Have your lifts stayed the same or are you still increasing weight? In order to build muscle you need an abundance of food energy! SO EAT EAT EAT!!!
 

"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.

Yeah, I've been stuck.
On some exercises I've been increasing the weight, on some I haven't. I mean, I'm seeing visual progress when it comes to muscle so I guess that means that I've been burning some fat and making some muscle so it's breaking even.

Possible but you still need to eat more anyway.

Progress on all of them. And put the bicep pics away; what do your quads look like?
