"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.

My good friends brother is 5'10" and 230 lbs. According to the BMI, he is OBESE.

However, he does not look fat at all, but DIESEL. The kid is jacked and looks rock solid. He does not look like a slob at all.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Did his BMI ever get calculated by a special kind of skin clamp or are you just going by entering his weight into an online BMI calculator?

Search BMI limitations on google. There are alot of reasons why it's bias to people with high muscle density.

Yes BMI sucks ass. Doesn't take body composition into account at all.
 

"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.

What's your hip to waist ratio in relationship to your BMI, also is your waist size 35" or larger? People always mistakenly just do the basic (old) calculation without taking into account that when the formula was originally created, people with a BMI over 25 were absolutely fat as compared to the average population which fell somewhere around 22.

Diets didn't consist of highly processed foods like today and the portions were much smaller. In the changing times the normal BMI for Americans has jumped over 25. Someone may only be 150lbs but what if they were over 20% fat? That's 7-10lbs more fat than what's considered a healthy. That may not seem like a lot and would hardly be noticeable if you are over 200lbs with a gut, but if you had been a svelte 140 and jumped up 10lbs, you'd readily see it.

In a nutshell, if you're athletic, you definitely need to take your waist to hip ratio. More times than not, the truly fit athlete wouldn't have a waist size over 35 either. If they did, their waist to hip ratio would show that they were proportioned in either a healthy or unhealthy manner.

BMI is pretty accurate if you are a learn how to use it.

BMI uses weight and height.

What you are referring to is bodyfat composition which can be calculated through electrical impedance, water displacement, clamps, or measuring strips and some calculations.


BMI sucks. You can be 220lbs and ripped to the bone, but the BMI sys you are obese, because you are heavier than you should be at that height. It's only accurate for Joe Sedentary Average.
