"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.

The original poster was asking for help on how to get a physique HE wanted...NOT the physique everyone else thinks he should have...

since when did it become cool for dudes to talk sh!t and try to shame another dude for being successful ?? I thought chicks behaved that way amongst each other...
 

"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.

Okay, the guy in the pic has a nice physique going on... i'm just simply saying that he'd be useless in the gym... he's prolly got some amazing cardio... and as for the guy up top who says only fat guys can deadlift think again... my bf % is around 12% and i can deadlift a good deal...
What defines one as useless in the gym? Even some of the greatest to ever be seen in bodybuilding only used 30lb dumbbells to curl- Tom Platz being one.

Weight isn't everything.

Wasn't it Thoreau that said simpify? SIMPLIFY, people.

This kind of thing is real simple. First off, to get that body...you must have that dude's (forget his name, but the guy that was in that faggy fighting movie) exact same DNA. Everyone's different, so obviously you will never look EXACTLY like him no matter what.

Second, to get the amount of muscle mass and bodyfat you desire it's the same answer. Everyone wants a shortcut, but there is none...short of Vitamin S. Eat more calories than you burn and work like a dog in the gym (compound multi-joint exercises with progressively increasing weight) to gain muscle. Eat less calories than you burn and work like a dog in the gym (toning) and/or cardio with a high-protein diet to avoid loss of muscle mass to lose bodyfat. That's it. THAT'S IT.

Muscle mags will phrase it differently every issue to continue selling their wares, but the principles remain the same. You don't get lean by "following one rule: OBEY" and you don't gain muscle by eating X amount of Acai supplements or whatever the hell the gimmick of the week is. You gain muscle by eating a truckload of food and lifting a truckload of weight. End of story. Anybody that tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something.

Yes, using examples of elite bodybuilders with elite genetics is always useful.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
