"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.

So i was in the gym yesterday, working hard as usual. It just so happens on i was completeing my 4th set of 5x5 squats with 275lbs. So i notice during my break, a couple of new guys to the gym, and low and behold one of them is the rookie cop that busted me a couple months back and suspended my license( he was a real D1CKHEAD, to say the least).

They notice me working hard on my squats, as they were working hard on their curls, lol. So yea, as you can imagine they are bigger than me, and stroll over, the cop looks me up and down, smiles, and asks if he could knock a set out. So i know he's just trying to show me up, so I'm like 'okay, guy, have at it'.

So he gets under the bar and unracks it, and surprise surprise, mr. dognut diet, can't hanlde the weight and slowly begins to sink. Now I don't help, instead i watch as his buddies grab each end of the bar and have to pull it off him.

So then, they help him rerack it. And what do i do? I said 'fvuck it' and threw on 20lbs. They are like, "your adding more weight?"..I didn't answer, And busted out my last (painfull) 5 reps. You should have seen the look on their face.

Now, mr. dognut diet is getting ragged on by his buddies, cuz me and my 5'8 160lb just out squatted him. Then, they come up to me and nicely say, 'thats alot of weight', to which i reply, 'don't sweat it, I have a bigger d1ck than you, so i can lift more'. Hollyshiettt, they turned red, cause there was a cutie next to us, and just walked away.. I suppose I'm gonna get pulled over soon, but i think it was worth it?

Just a gym rant, lol.
 

"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.

I lift in my basement, not to many stories there, i lifted without a spotter on bench once and almost died. Thats about all I got.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

I work out in my garage with a bench and punching bag, and a treadmill, and i remember when i was starting, i tried to bench a lot of weight, and realized it was too much after i took it down, and was like trapped alone under it.. After a minute or so of me getting worried i managed to prop up a side, and roll out of it.. So much to learn about working out without my trainer.

The guys with the home gyms are lucky in retrospect. You don't have to sit and wait for some metro to bang out his 4 sets of curls on the squat rack. Or watch the 'hardcore metro' who can't bench 155lb, throw on 185lb, unrack, move it 2 inches, then rerack, and call that a rep.

How much do you bench?

"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.

People who lay down on equipment, get up, and the equipment is soaked in their sweat and they dont clean it.

Lets not forget the dumba$$ women... I was benching once, as part of a circuit, left to go some crunches, which is the 2nd in the circuit...But i left my weight racked on the bar, i placed my towel on the bench laid out; this woman goes over takes my towel and throws in on the floor and proceedes to go her flys on the bench..So i just walked over and stood over her until she asked me what my problem was, which i directly indiciated...

:mad: Another one: Spying the squat rack during the peak hours; you wait and wait for the squat rack to empty, and finally, the guy grabs his towel and leaves; just then, a fat SOB who works out like, probably 1 once a month, arrives at the squat rack ahead of you.
lol, and then does curls... How about the guy that only squats 100lbs, when he weighs 180, and then talks about how much he trains his legs; and on top of that, tries to give you advice.

For me the worst is when you're all pumped up and doing a heavy set of either squats, bench, or any other heavy body work out, you're extremely focused and then some douche bag interrupts you in the middle and asks "how many more sets do you have"
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
