Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
correct, benching is just for ego... Not many naturals or pros do flat bench anymore..Originally posted by AdrenalynJunkee
Yah the barbell bench press restricts your shoulder movement by keeping your hands stationary on that bar. The dumbbells allow free movement and rotation of your shoulders.
Well, both BB and DB bench press both have their place, but as far as functionality go, I prefer the DB. Also, when I do DB presses, my pecs really feel a burn. You are allowed to stretch them more, increasing the ROM (Range of Motion) in your pecs which in turns causes more TUT (Time Under Tension). This all leads to an increase in muscle break down and an increase in compound strength. However, you are correct in the fact that you can use a much wider grip when using a barbell.Originally posted by coolguy676767
lol and where do you get this information, flat bench should be the focus of your workout, although I do stress the other exercises for isolation after the bench part is done, but that is like the other guy said, it would be like saying squats are mediorcre, and we should do leg press instead, although dumb bells are good for bench press, you need flat bench, cause dumb bells are more for your triceps, cause you keep them closer to the body
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.
Both are symbolisms of masculinity and both lead to a constant one upmanship consisting of lies and few truthes. There is really no point to either except to brag.Originally posted by AdrenalynJunkee
I don't see how they tie into eachother.

I am training for overall performance, and endurance... not strength. Running, situps, and pushups are my staples.

Ah correct on that one. Never really understood why people like distance. Me? 100 and 200m only please.Originally posted by LordBrian

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.
