"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.

Since everyone on here acts like they are "hubbed up/huge/muscular" let's see who can walk the walk,and who is just talking to talk. Add how long you have been lifting,list supplements(if you are taking any) and you protein intake daily.

Here is mine,lifting overall for a year(had no clue what I was doing first 6 months),no supplements and I weight 150 and take in 200-225 grams of protein a day,no lifting within 24 hours of this picture;

"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.

"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.

Bulking?! There is no such thing in my "diet"! Just eat lean with large amounts of protein and you will gain pure muscle in no time.

My list of foods I eat;
-EGGS(1 WHOLE EGG,4 EGG WHITES)
-STRAWBERRY SPECIAL K CEREAL
-SKINLESS CHICKEN BREAST
-TUNA/TUNA SALAD
-HAMBURGERS MADE WITH THE LEANEST BEEF AVAILABLE MADE VIA GEORGE FOREMAN
-CHEESE/HAM/TURKEY/CHICKEN SANDWHICH(NO MAYO)
-LOAF OF BREAD/DELI LOAF(DO NOT EAT IN THE AFTERNOON OR FOR DINNER,THOSE CARBS WILL TURN INTO FAT DURING YOUR SLEEP)

Things I drink;
-FAT FREE MILK
-WATER

It's not hard,bodybuilding is how you eat more then anything.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I've taken progress pics, but I've only been lifting (and inconsistently) for 3 months or so, with a horrendous diet...

:(

I'm still skinny and not quite so muscular.

Your consistency in the gym(not how hard you lift) and diet are more important then lifting hard or sleeping for 8+ hours a day,try to work on that and trust me,you will see gains.

Yeh. It's easier said than done though. I constantly stress the importance of diet and rest to my friends, yet, I find myself constantly breaking my own advice.

Hey Skilla, I've been noticing your posts around, and for your age (and weight), you're pretty clued up on training, and you're strong. But as you've said here and a few times before, your diet is crap. Man, what's holding you back on the eating? Money, time, the effort?

I don't mean to bust on you but when you're 150 lbs wet would you mind not talking like you're some authority?
 

"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.

That's me, 20 yrs old, about 5.9, 150 lbs. No workout in the past week, muscles a bit flexed. Not eating particulary healthy..
Just taking an occasional protein shake after a workout..

I don't want to get like HUGE and buffed so i'm just trying to get a better v-shape and more muscle definition..

Funny how you make that comment yet I still lift more then you by looking at your workout journal,and I do more reps in my sets. The only workout it looks like you do more then me in is squatting,but let me ask you this,does your butt come within a foot of touching the ground when you squat? I can do sets of above 275lbs. when I don't do full extension squats but only 155lbs when I do them the proper way. By the way muscle weights more then fat,which is why I weight 150 at my height. Have a nice day!

guys lets not get on each others case, the reasons we lift are all different, no need to make this a competition, if you wanna do that start a "who can lift more than me thread".

good results guys, keep it going.

Yes how very true you are. I posted this thread because there are way too many people here claiming that they are "huge/hubbed up/beef'd",I just want to know who is where.
 

"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.
