"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Hi DJs,

I'm really slim. I need to build up. My problem is nutritional,
there are many foods I don't like and don't eat. It's been
many years I'm trying to get a little bigger.

One idea came last night. The people in the army, don't eat
like us (we see in movies they don't eat well) , they do hard
everyday work, etc...

But look at them ! They are far the most build up people.

So my question is how do they do?
How can I do?

help please.
 

"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.

Real army guys are not that built. They are built more than the average population but nothing to brag about.

having been in the army, I can say that the only 'built' guys were genetic mesomorphs who ate anything and everything. but those guys would build muscle mowing lawns and eating the grass cuttings, so...

nvictor, there's no 'shortcut' to gaining weight. you simply have to eat the right foods in the right amounts (as well as train correctly), and the fact that you can't or won't is why you're slim right now, and will stay slim until you start putting the calories in.

tell us what foods you do or don't like and we'll offer some diet suggestions.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

I was thinking about this the other day. People in prison always seem to have awesome bodies. Not sure if they are jacked in real life. I think they havfe pretty decent food in most prisons though. I remember hearing it takes a lot of cigarettes to buy a jug of protein.

Put yourself in a situation where you have access to a gym nearly all day, and if you're small you become the wife of a large man named Tiny.

Lets see how fast you become big then :nervous:

Deus ex,
Do you have pictures of what you call pullups, chinups, pushups (I guess it's what we call "pompes" in french) and situps ??

That's sounds interesting.

Eh, I gained about 10 pounds of pure muscle in about 3-4 weeks in Air Force basic training. Right off the bat. Only exercises we did was pullups, chinups, pushups, and situps. That of course excludes pure cardio like running and jumping jacks. I mean, I went from eating whatever I could scrounge up around the house so that I could survive, to eating huge 3 squares a day, with PLENTY of fluids throughout the day.

I think military personnel are generally in better shape because we were FORCED to go to failure, and beyond...constantly. Not only that, but there's never a shortage of food. I mean, you're guaranteed 3 meals a day...even if you f'uck up.
The exact opposite happened to me in Marine Corps boot. Every ounce of muscle I had going in I lost. It took me almost two years to get back. I came out weaker and more pathetic than ever.

Definate over training, food deprivation , and sleep deprivation.
 

"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.

I lost muscle during basic, and then regained it all plus more at school of infantry.

Thats the difference between contracted civilian cooks and army cooks - more food!

were you a skeleton?!
btw I meant army - ration packs're about enough to keep you alive in the field, not enough to gain on
