"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.

Excellent, keep it up mate.

You still doing weights?
Not so much. Which is why I'm going to get the squat rack in the next couple of weeks when it goes on sale.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Excellent, make sure and get some more weights so it is more than 200lbs.

It is more crucial at this stage to do weights, fat loss will be getting harder and you want to maintain as much muscle as possible. I think you knew that already though.

Keep it up. Blood work getting better? Or have you not been back...

I can't keep doing nothing at home so I've grabbed Mrs. K, Li'l K, My Dad and drug them to the new YMCA just built up the road from us.

All new equipment and I can get Mrs. K back on track. My Dad is living with us now so he can get back into working out.

All in all this is the best thing for all of us. And I don't have to worry about all of the muscleheads who take up the squat rack and stare at themselves all day.

Get in, do my sh!t, get out.

You had any more blood work done? How much better are you feeling? What happened to the home gym?

Keep it up.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

My next appointment is in June so I'll update my tests then.

The home gym wasn't working long term.

How did you manage to drop 30+ lbs and how long did it take you?
Dedication and perseverence brother.

Those are the two mystical secrets.

You have to want to change. The change will not happen overnight so don't fvck yourself into believing you'll rub a magic lamp and shed 30 lbs in a week. Make yourself a realistic goal. Get smart about what you put inside of you and then move your ass!

I'll help you with a meal plan and workout routine if you want.

Do yourself a favor and be honest about your dedication to the process. It will pay off dividends if you keep focused on your vision.

I'm living proof.

Cool, can't wait to see the results.
 

"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've allowed complacency to infiltrate my goal. My Dad is going through some serious health issues and he's now living with us.

This is no excuse whatsoever. I hold myself completely accountable for slacking but I do have to make sure he's in good health.

I'll be back on track soon enough Brother.
