"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.

Anyone try either of these programs? I'm leaning toward the Insanity program because I'm concerned about my cardiovascular fitness and also my flexibility. I also heard when you do P90X, they automatically start sending you creatine and other stuff, which I don't really want.

I'm 24 years old, 5'8", 145lbs. Ever really had to watch what I eat; I've been skinny my whole life. I would say my target weight is about 170. I don't think I would want to be bigger than 180. I like playing basketball, but hadn't played in while. When I was about 16 I could grab rim, but now I can't. My main fitness goal is to be able to dunk. I know it will take a long time, but I think I'm up for the challenge.

The Insanity DVD's seemed like a good fit because the infomercial talked a lot about the plyometrics and flexibility excercises. I figured I could do the 60 days, then possibly go through the full 60 days a second time while wearing a weighted vest.

Also once you finish the program, do you just start the program over, or are there different exercises? Any help would be appreciated.
 

"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.

Your goals are to be able to dunk and weigh in the 170-180lb range?

To dunk you need strength, and to gain muscle you need strength. Do Rippetoe's program and you will reach your goals quickly.

I don't have a car right now, so I can't go to a gym. That is the main thing holding me back.
 

"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.

Don't expect to gain a lot of muscle and strength without proper equipment. I suggest you buy a power cage, a 7ft barbell and weights. It will be a very good investment.
