"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"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.

"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.

Twenty pounds heavier then me, same hieght, but a larger waist? I didn't think muscle wieghed THAT much more. :eek:

muscle weighs more than fat, a LOT more. Plus, I'm a gym rat, so i'm more built than most average joe's my age. My genetics are horrible, so I'll confess that I've occasionally cheated w/ some supplements....But not as bad as Bary Bonds, i swear ! lol

Height: 1m74 or 5'9'' (5'8½ for those who want precision:D )
Weight: 67kg or 148lbs

Ok, for what I'm gonna say next, I will probably get "lynched" by a lots of people here on this forum.

I am NOT looking for a bodybuilder type of physique, I think it's gross.

I am trying to get a more "athletic" build, I'm shooting for a little more than 70kg, that's about 155lbs.

I used to pratice breakdancing, now I've been doing capoeira for a year, hopefully, in two or three years, I will get real good. I prefer to have better agility and "relative strength" (the strength per bodyweight ratio) so I can do some crazy acrobatics than becoming a real buff muscle man...:whistle:

Anyway, thanks to my genes, it's almost impossible for me to get "big". I always eat whatever I want, whenever I want, and as much as I want. If I do some sports regularly, even eating like that won't make me gain a single pound. Guess I have a fast metabolism. So becoming a muscle man is not an option for me anyway...unless I use steroids I guess...:D

Wussy. Real men aren't scared of muscle, especially their own.

FYI: Bigger guys have a higher strength to weight ratio.
 

"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.

I wasn't saying I don't want/have muscles, just not in a buff way. Let's say I prefer to have a swimmer's physique than a bodybuilder's physique.

So bigger guys have a higher strength to weight ratio huh?
Can you do a handstand on one hand?
How many pull-ups can you do in a row?
How many push-ups?
Can you do the turtle (lifting your whole bodyweight on your two arms under your belly?
etc...
:crackup:

Anyway, as I said, I know 99% of the guys on this section are into the bodybuilding thing, thus I was prepared to get verbally "lynched". So bring it on people, I'm ready for the insults and name calling...:whistle:

I'm 5'9" and weigh 178 lbs.

last i measured I was 11% BF and now I figure i'm about 10%. I've put on a few lbs of muscle over the winter months and dropped some fat. Looking to cut up real good by June.

amazing how little you need to workout to maintain once you're happy with your body. I hit the gym no more than 2-3 times/ week but eat pretty decently so I still see some gains.

I have a few more lbs of fat to lose before I'm completly satisfied. Of course that 2-3 lbs is settled right on my lower back and sides. :rolleyes: There's just enough that i can grab it with my fingers and that's about it.

Bodybuilding? HAHAHAHA. Look at these stats. Most are wannabees. (myself included.. I'm not where I should be at)

And yes, bigger guys do have a higher strength to weight ratio.

"How many pullups, pushups can you do?" These are ENDURANCE EXERCISES!!!

I was talking about strength. But if you want to go that way... bigger guys have more muscular endurance too (running excluded).

Can you BENCH you bodyweight for 25 reps?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

The chart says I'm about right....

6' at 176 lbs.
Been working out on the BodyMAxx program since last week of January.
I still have a little bit of access fat in the belly area, but I also have a lot more muscle than I did have. So much that my son accuses me of doing roids even though I don't.
So I guess it's all working out well..:rockon:
 

"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.
