"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.

I was very reluctant to post this, but hopefully it will help motivate ppl in need

"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.

Holy ****! You are a different breed of man. Your dedication and drive must be through the roof. Kudos.

Any tips on how to increase your brain's discipline?

The transformation is amazing man. Congrats.

Are the 2nd and 3rd pics from the same time?
 

"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.

Excellent work!

Congrats!

What was the turning point that made you finally decide to change? Or did you just love the exercise once you started it and got motivation from seeing results?
 

"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.

I wish I could say I did it for myself and to improve my health...blah blah blah

The main fuel for my change was a 5 letter word that starts with p and ends in y, haha

This was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I had to work extremely hard on cultivating discipline. I actually quit probably 5-6 times, but I kept getting back on the horse.

If I can go from over 300 pounds to this...imagine what you dudes who are only slightly out of shape can do!

What word are you talking about?

Yeh, definately some great perseverence there, and from all my sporting conquests, that is the most IMPORTANT part of all! Beleiving in your own ability and not using any stupid excuses to quit!

Thoughout my sporting life, I have seen many talented guys quit for some of the most rediculous reasons! One just didnt beleive in himself when he had some great skills, beleive it or not, one of the most talented teenagers I have ever seen quit because he had acne........and he could have gone on to do some great things at his sport.

It really is all about perseverence and persistance!

"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.

This is something that anyone who wants it bad enough can do. If any of you people that are reading this are sort of out of shape, or just plain tubs of lard...get off your fat asses and do something about it.

Just having a flat stomach will put you ahead of most of the other flabby losers...

"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.
