"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.

How accurate is www.mybodycomp.com???

"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.

For me, I believe it was fairly accurate.

I'm 5'10" 185lbs and it had me at 8.9% bodyfat. I have a 6 pack but I'm not supercut. I've read that abs become visible at around 10%, so I figure 9% is about right for me.

Wow.

I added 2 inches to my abdomen and waist and subtracted 2 from my shoulders and chest, in order to estimate where I was before summer started, and it gave me 17.98 - I guess it IS accurate! My coach estimated me at 18% just before school got out. And 2 inches added to my chest is conservative - ever since working KB presses, chins, bent rows and full dips my back and especally my lats have jacked up.

Even I am finding it hard to believe that I did this with only a kettlebell, chins and dips, no dieting, and achilles tendon bursitis(which meant less kettlebell work for almost 2 weeks). At this rate 12 hours of baseball a week for college (starting a week from tomorrow) will wipe my bodyfat off the map!

I got an 8.57%..always get 7-8% with calipers or other forms..so it's accuracte. This chart thing tells me that I need to add more muscle to my wrists, ankles and abdomen and my arms are out of proportion. Anyone regularly chart themselves on this site? I think I'm going to start.

Actually metaphor, it's good if it says your ankles, wrists, and abdomen are small. It basically means you have big forearms and calves for your bone structure, and that you have a good v-taper.

Abdomen and hips are primary fat indicators and should be at or below the +1.5% for optimum health. Shoulders, bicep, arm, and calf are the primary muscle indicators and should be at or above the -1.5% for optimum health.
For me it says I need to work on my upper arms. I have 17" calves but only 15" arms.:( I can't really complain though since all I do is compound exercises, I haven't done curls in a year.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Yea I know it's good..I was just pointing out that it suggests for me to add mass to my wrists and ankles..but to my knowledge it's impossible to do so. Sorry for the confusion.

You're not supposed to be flexed when you take your measurements. Also you're not supposed to suck in your stomach. Did you do either of those?
 

"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.

I'm sorry but that site isn't accurate at all.

I'm 6'9" tall and 194lbs and it seems to think i'm at 25.6% body fat.

Even the terrible accuracy of my scale seems to be more realistic at 12.7%
