"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.

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?
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.
