...why is it that so many people on here think that lifting weights is gonna all of a sudden make you good with women?
I really wanna know....BAD....

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.
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.
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.
Men like women who are hot.Craig Reeves said:...why is it that so many people on here think that lifting weights is gonna all of a sudden make you good with women?

So true, its the whole package, and not just the fact you have muscles.stronglifts said:Men like women who are hot.
Guess part of the emasculation of today's men, involves men thinking that women want men who look good.
Let's face it. Looks only work 1day/week/month/whatever. Afterwards it's your attitude that is decisive.
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.

And the fact that your looks are constantly attracting other women forcing your woman to think of you more as a prize AND realize she has to compete to keep you because she can see other women looking at you ready to pounce should she slip. I had this highlighted for me in my last really long term relationship. She was really concerned all the time about other girls looking at me.. she was always looking at the competition. She knew who liked me and was attracted to me far before i ever noticed.stronglifts said:Let's face it. Looks only work 1day/week/month/whatever. Afterwards it's your attitude that is decisive.
:crackup: fat chicks. I see some that thing the are the ****. They stomp around all dressed like they own the place, gut hanging out and.... Man what a turn off. And some REALLY think they are the bomb.mrRuckus said:Oh and looking good and knowing i look good is sure going to affect my attitude. I hate enough on fat chicks that they're the sh1t when they're ugly as sin, i'm not about to let myself be ugly and still go around strutting.
thats true, but they didnt attain it the way we do today. i doubt they watched their carbs or used treadmills. primitive man was a bad-ass mofo, and not because of an impressive bicep curl.Plenty of them were of men looking gallant
no1. Lifting weights shows determination and discipline.
thats not a positive character trait.It shows you care about your body and that you take pride in it.
thats not the issue, any rational person would say yes. but they might not say 'yes' to the overall exchange of input-->output2. Would you really be a scrawny little man or a jacked guy with a 6 pack and ripped muscles?? Hmm, I wonder what one I would decide.
maybe, maybe not. i at 200lbs with a light history in boxing want no part of Matt Hughes, Anderson Silva, or Tito Trinidad. Hell even small guys like Manny Pacquiao or Miguel Cotto can fuk me up.3. You can kick ppl's a$$ with muscles and you can defend yourself better.
Duh.4. Women loved ripped guys. Like I said, a girl will take a ripped guy with a great personality than a scrawny toothpick with a great personality.
Maybe. dorkwads mostly. gaywads too. Any kind of wad pretty much.5. Guys who work on their bodies feel more confident because they know they look good and will feel good.
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.
