"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've been hitting the gym hard for about a month now..and i've noticed that i'm actually LOOSING weight instead of becoming a hulk. I'm definately more cut and defined. but the weight gain just isn't happening.

Any advice?

"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.

Same boat as you pal...been lifting hard for 8 weeks. When I weighed myself the other day I was 167...a pound lighter than when I started. And yes, I do look more cut and defined just like YOU say. The solution: Buy some protein bars ( I already have), eat some carbs before you lift (extra energy) and stuff yer face, but stay away from fried foods (chicken Mcnuggets, Big Macs, KFC, etc, soda and sweets. NO CARDIO!!

thanks for the advise boyz. For a second there, i thought i was the only one having the problem.
With regards to my workout, i've been following Diesel's guide. With NO cardio.

I guess, i'm just not eating enough. And i'll definately try the pre/post workout protien bar.
I've been drinking the weight gainers protein shake (GNC's pro performance - Elite Mega Mass) and I figured that should be just as good as protein bars.

"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.

Well I'm in a similar position.

I can gain weight, I can get to about 165+ lbs, but then a few days later I'm back to 155lbs. WTF...

I eat at least 3200 calories per day, very little fried foods or sweets. 250g+ protein per day. No weight gain.

a wall?

i'm starting to wonder if there is a weight "wall" that we hard gainers hit? we can get majorly defined and cut but our bodies just won't let us get any heavier.

I figure is there's a thing such as a "fat" gene that makes it hard for obese people to loose weight. Maybe the same type of thing exists for us -- only in reverse.

"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.
