"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'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.
 

"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.

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?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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%
