You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Dude, you're skinny. If you're 5'6" you should weigh at least 140 in lean muscle, even if you're an ectomorph (which you sound like you are... do some internet research on bodytypes, i.e "ectomorph"..."meso/endomorph". Ideally, you should weigh a solid 150-155 in ripped muscle. I'm 5'9" or so and I'm shooting for about 165-170 in lean muscle. I want that shredded Bruce Lee look, but with about 10 pounds more bulk.
im short it depresses me and makes me feel uncomfortable.
"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 know ain't of much comfort, but you just need to 'grow into' your skin. Sure your slightly under-average height isn't something GREAT - but it's not the worst trait that you can have. You could have had a harelip or a deformed foot. I know some people who have deformities, but they put on a brave face. I respect them for that, and most importantly - HOW can they live the rest of their lives if they trip over something they can't change? It's a dead-end street, so don't go there.
The best you can hope for is to seriously improve yourself in other areas - most importantly a manly personality, a health-self image, and perhaps a special talent that you're passionate about and REALLY good at.
172 lbs, some muscle but not ripped or anything. I'd like to see what my body fat % is now but I haven't seen it since about a year ago when I was 220 lbs, 25% (I started cutting from this in the summer). I have a little bit of a gut still. I think I should lose another 10 lbs or so and then start bulking.
you all sound enormous and huge... maybe those are american standards, or gym standard, but where i live i'm perceived as more muscular than average and everybody compliments on my body, even though i'm just 140lbs at 5'9.
maybe we have lower standards, since yesterday a friend of mine said that brad pitt is "huge" in fight club, while everybody in here seems to refer to him as skinny but ripped
anyway, i want to cut a bit for the summer, in order to make my 8-pack more visible. in september, i'll get back to bulking until next june, and i want to get to 155-165 lbs very ripped and cut, not more than that
I prefer a lean slender build, not interested in bulking up, I already have a natural stocky build and broad chest.
I need to lose a few more pounds
"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.
im 5'7" at 140 or so, but im a boxer and im going to be fighting in september so i need to get down to 130... i probably just need to drop like 5 lbs of fat i still have and the other 5 lbs can just be dropped by water weight dehydrating myself.
by the end of the year i'm looking to be 160 again, only instead of 8-10% bf like before, i'll be 5-7%.
i've had a bit of a problem for the past 2 months or so, cuz every week i get myself back up to 153-154, then after every weekend it's back down to 149-150. i really will need to put more energy into eating on the weekends, especially friday, saturday nights when i just nod off instead of doing one fvckin situp to get some supper. i'll learn
later guys
I don't make goals based on body weight tho. Usually when I make goals, they're either strength oriented (i.e. I wanna add 50 lbs to my military press), or appearance oriented (I want thicker traps, or better obliques).
Mostly tho, I just keep track of my lifts, and try to improve them. As long as I keep gaining strength in my lifts, I don't care whether or not I keep getting bigger, I'm pretty happy with my size/the way I look now.
