"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.

what is a healthy bodyfat % to maintain?


i want it to be low enough to have good abs and facial definition but not so low that it is unhealthy or unsustainable.

it would help if someone could post a picture of what said bodyfat looks like

thanks
 

"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.

what you see in magazines is low, 5-6% but those physiques are pharmaceutically enhanced and don't believe a lot of that - those are professional juice heads and each photo was shopped for an hour before it made it into the magazine. 8-10% you will have visible abs. If you can get to 7% you would be very ripped. I would not go any lower for heath reasons.

You can get down to 2% naturally if you want to. My friend dropped down to 3.5-4% naturally w/o supplementing for his show. Your correct though about the photos,lighting and a lot of photoshopping is put into the pictures.

8-10% you will have visible abs. If you can get to 7% you would be very ripped. I would not go any lower for heath reasons.

You can stay at 6% bodyfat w/o health issues. I've been warned that anything else looks unhealthy and you feel like crap.

everyone's body is different.. mine naturally has been around 7 to 8%, clearly visible 8 pack abs (i'm tall so the top 2 show as well)...
I thought it was the bottom 2 that usually didn't show. Particularly since my top 2 are my biggest and always show even when i'm kinda fat. Hmm. Now i'm gonna have to find out.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Hey bro, poke through the Vault before you ask a question. There are many topics covered in there, and it's my job to keep this forum from becoming redundant.

Bodyfat% Levels....

Cheers.
