"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.

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.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around 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.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
 

"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.

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
