"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.

Hi,

Hopefully, a mate and myself are going to England in Feb. for a while.

Just wondering, how much, on average, is it to join a gym over there? Also, how much is it to use it once (e.g. when theres no membership).

Thanks
 

"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.

Depends on the qualityof gym
Theres one called David Loyd I know of, their extotionate. For a student, it £290 join up fee and 45 per month after that.
Where I go the uni has a deal with, so its £180 a year for a student, something like £100 jon up fee and £20-30 a month for the public.
Other gym thats linked with the MT gym is like £18 a month and no join up, but thats for a "bronze membership", golds like 35 a month. Some gyms like the above have MA gyms attached to them, so you pay to join the MA gym (for the MT it is £25 for the year), and you can use the weights gym during the training days.

Depends on the quality. Over summer I paid around £14 per every four weeks at one in a small town near us. It had mostly everything you wanted.

The one I'm at now is a Christmas present and, again, a four-week membership as I'm only here for a few weeks. This one works out around £50 for the four weeks, although there is also use of a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room..:)

Whereabouts are you staying over the Irish Sea?

I also go to a gym at my university but I expect it's heavily subsidised, as I pay a joining fee of £27 per year, and either £1.25 or £1.50 each time I go, depending if it's off-peak or not.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.
