"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

...Dude. If you're 180 pounds with 5% body fat at 6 feet tall you're jacked. I don't see why you need our opinion on your build since everyone knows you're in good shape.

Clearly he must have facked up the calculations. 3.5 BFP and you have a pretty good chance to kick the bucket doing just about anything. 5. is the bare limit for safe living and that's what he put as his max?

He was probably referring to subcutaneous body fat.
 

"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.

Aah. Nvm.
@terran2k: On the other hand, it's probably a bad idea to show off to chicks you only know on the internet. Do what some of my jock friends do, and set a pic of you flexing your abs as your facebook default xD

Russian roulette.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Nothing meant by it guys. I was curious if that's skinny?
A - it's not skinny

B - it's a bunch of numbers on a page. How the hell are we supposed to know if you're skinny?

Do you like your body? If the answer is "yes" then who cares?

You're not a fatty and you're not some scrawny 120lb freak. Life goes on.
