Jesse Marunde is one of the strongest people around. Check his site for more of his lifts.
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.

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.
When he's not leading all catchers in HRs, that is...Espi said:I've read that IFBB elite bodybuilder Victor Martinez (270 lbs. in the offseason) performs dozens of pulls...slow pulls, too.
Seconded. I'm a big fan.stronglifts said:Jesse Marunde is one of the strongest people around. Check his site for more of his lifts.
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.
No sacrifice,no victory.djtdot said:I can't stop myself from eating cookies and cakes and chocolates etc.

The lady at the gym who checked my bodyfat said the calipers read 7.5-8%(they have a 1-2% margin of error) but she thinks it's wrong. The calipers don't take into account height,which she thinks if it did I would be in the 6% but none-the-less I'm gonna stay on track.
I decided that I'm losing bodyfat too fast,even without cardio. To slow down how fast I'm losing bodyfat I started putting my tuna into 2 small corn tortillas for lunch at work.
Feel free to critique.
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.
Yeah I will have to take a similar pic to really the compare the two. My pic was at too much on an angle.Espi said:You resemble the model...notice that his lats and shoulders are wider, though.![]()

haha but don't get me wrong u look a lot better than meblinkwatt said:how much do you weigh and how tall are you?
5 8",139lbs @ 7.5%ish bodyfat.
you definitely need some more mass on your frame. Sure you got some abs... but those are only good for the beach in the summer time.
Yep,that's pretty much all they do. I don't even like my abs that much to be honest,I'm trying anything and everything to get them to be flat.
I bet you look just average in a t-shirt.
Yeah pretty much,I don't wear tight shirts or anything like that.
You have any t-shirt pics?
Yeah they are on my Facebook,it was linked on here awhile back.
Otherwise, everything is proportioned and you look great
Thanks.
I appreciate your time and input.
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.
