"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.

how do you get the V shape?

"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.

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 Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
