"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 do you get the V shape?

"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.

It comes from having a relatively large chest compared to waist size, ie, good back and chest development, and little fat around the midsection. But if you are only doing upperbody workouts you are shortchanging yourself so don't neglect legs, please. Decide if you need to bulk up or cut and then see Diesel's guides for each.

You need to work your LATS real hard to get that V shape, and have a small waist.

Small waist, big lats and shoulders. Just keep training and dieting hard and it will come.

Ya for some reason its really easy for me to get that V shape. I am not a big guy, but its just real easy.


I suggest doing close grip pullups and also widegrip pullups.
 

"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 have the V shape completely and I credit years of swimming. I also have a fast metabolism so it's easy for me to maintain.

I agree with newbie...the V Taper you describe can be obtained by having broad/wide shoulders, sweeping lats, and a small waist.

You don't really have to. Just get on a cutting diet and concentrate on lowering your bodyfat. Don't forget to train all your other bodyparts though.

I swim (freestyle) about a mile 3 times a week. It has done wonders for my back,shoulders, lats.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
