"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.

Got my calipers...ditching the scale

My bodyfat scale gives me anywhere from 29-33% bodyfat. I kinda suspected it was full of sh!t so I purchased some electronic calipers. It measures weight like a champ, BTW.

With the calipers I take a three site measurement three times and average it out. I pretty consistently hit around 24.5%. (I know, gotta get the fat under control)

I'm gonna see if I can get someone at my new gym to measure me to see how accurate I am.

Anyone else had bad luck with the scale?
 

"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.

I'm sure glad I don't LOOK that fat.

Some carry it better than others and fortunately I'm one that wears it well.

Gonna look REAL good when I get down below 12%.

Is it accurate if you measure the bodyfat on your own self, or do you need someone to measure it (like on the back)? I might be interested in getting one.

The three site method takes measurements from the chest, belly, and leg. Although it takes some practice you can measure yourself.

I bought mine (FatTrackII) @ www.bodybuilding.com for under $30. I've seen them elsewhere for closer to $50.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.
