Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

during lunch there's this kid who eats:

2 - 4 breadsticks, 1 piece of pizza, 2 Powerades, 1 bag of chips, 4 (4!) LARGE choc. chip cookies..and he's skinny as a twig!

no this post doesn't really have a point other than to vent my resentment towards people with superior metabolism :mad:
 

"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.

Fukk that !! - I'd rather be jakked, than be some skinny dweeb with a fast metabolism who can't gain weight.

You can control your fat much easier than you can manipulate a warp-speed metabolism.

Well I guess I wouldn't know since I've never had a warp-speed metabolism, but I think I'd rather be able to eat what I want. I know you wouldn't be able to eat just anything, but I mean like being able to go out and eat a cheeseburger whenever I want, eating lots of mashed potatos, pasta, etc. w/o freaking out over the carbs. I just get tired of tuna/chicken/etc. all the time.. Maybe I just like to eat :confused:

For starters you can exercise more...this will increase your metabolism. Your metabolism is only genetic to a certain degree. The more active you are, the higher it will be, no matter who you are.
 

"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.

IMO a superfast metabolism is like a car engine running at 10 000rpm the whole time, well and good, but what's the wear and tear to the engine as a result?

Metabolism is a natural function of being alive. If you have a faster metabolism, it's not going to hurt you. However, having a slow one most likely will hurt you (and give you heart disease or diabetes).

I havn't worked out/exercised, ate fruit (even an apple) in about 8 years. And i'm one of the slimmest people in school.

My daily diet, and i kid you not, is a cycle of pizza/pasta/kfc. For lunch i'll eat mars bars and chips. And to top it all off i sit on my arse doing **** all.

Now how can you explain that?

EDIT: The figures above are no exaggeration you can ask any of my family and friends and they are shocked by this fact.

Ask him what he has for breakfast and he'll probably say nothing. Skinny guys have very strange eating habbits. They're not necessarily skinny because of their metabolism.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I thought 22lb. per year was the most one could gain for an ectomorph?

Yes, remember lads, it's vital to have a car before you bulk up.

how did i gain so much? I ATE MY ASS OFF. i eat even when im quite full. keep track of what u eat, protein intake/carbs/fat a day. i was a bit under in protein, and played bball for 2-3 hours 2-3 times a week, lifted 4 times a week, and gained 8-9 pounds (not sure with water weight). Im going to hit 7-8 more by the end of school year. thats the plan.
 

"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.

I thought so too (didnt know it depended on being a skinny guy though?), but go to the skinnyguy.net thread..these people claim to make gains of 22lbs of pure muscle in 3 months...

Fvck that. I am an extreme ectomorph and I gained over double that in a year from eating enough and eating the right things along with lifting. It's not rocket science to gain weight or lose it.

I also enjoy eating whatever the hell I want, but I do that in moderation because skinny people that eat fast foods and cr@p loaded with trans. and sat. fats all day end up with clogged arteries and a big layer of fat surrounding their heart by the time their 25.

Just wait, in 25 years our fast food generation may look good on the outside, but on the inside we will be a bunch of 40 year olds with heart palpitations, high cholesterol and diabetes.

Don't want to sound like a health nut, I'm really not, I just don't think that eating 5 big macs a day to bulk is a good idea.

And if it makes you feel better that kid that eats all that sh!t for lunch everyday is probably going to end up with type 2 diabetes.

dude thats not a superior metabolism. that metabolism sucks ass unless ur a girl ( since they dont need to gain all that muscle mass.. they just gotta be skinny)
i hate having a incredibly fast metabolism.. if ur a bodybuilder its ur worst nightmare.. makes it nearly impossible to bulk. (unless u eat an entire cow every meal....... which means by the time ur done its time for ur next meal :mad:!!! )
