"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 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.

6' and 160 IS skinny.

Your post has a lack of detail about your workout, and also no mention of nutrition, which is at least 50%.

Muscles don't grow out of thin air.

Go to the "Health and Fitness" forum page, and to the two stickies up the top "Where to Start" and "The Vault" and do some reading.

Work out a plan based off what you learn there, then report back in 6 months with your progress.

scrap upright rows, don't really see the point in them and most people do them wrong/trash their shoulders

if you're going to keep those exercises I'd do

saturday
incline bench press
curl
forearm exercise

sunday
legs
calves
leg extensions
squat
leg curls

off

tuesday shoulders/tris
seated db/barbell press or standing military press
lateral raises
rear delt raises
close grip bench press
overhead tricep movement

Wednesday
back/traps
chinups/lat pulldowns
barbell rows/deadlifts
barbell shrugs

thursday
off

repeat

basic routine right there. I'd say no more than 4-5 movements per session. Focus on bigger exercises first

than maybe one isolation exercise after big movements



You should train like these guys. Hit it hard, eat big, stay consistent and you'll be fine.
