Master Don Juan
Ok, just did a second gymsession today. Half hour backhand then shredded the chest to pieces. Two chest taps in one day is ok occasionally. Totally fvcked now.
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.
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 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.
Yeah dude I did the last half of my workout outside and it's fvcking awesome, people watching you as they walk/drive by hahaha. The only point I'll disagree with is that looking epic naked isn't the main reason (though it is a reason) we do this, it's to be as badass as fvcking possible!

True words man...and yeah Mudvayne is such a badass band to workout to, like your mind shuts off and you become an animalPurefilth said:Hah - true dat! You have pushed me back onto the path of righteousness. Forgive me - vanity and temptation were strong.
Lol the first incline was machine. I had nobody to spot me, so incline machine and light bench.
It's amazing that gym feeling looks like nothing when written down, but we all see each others pain and understand.
We earned every ounce of pain here and noone can take that from us.
Edit: good tune man- definitely adding that to my playlist.
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.
With the size and shape I am I wouldn't blame you!TheStig said:If I'd have walked in the gym and saw you struggling with 14 kg I'd have started laughing my ass off haha, but really though good work
Oh man haha if you could have seen my face when I was doing dropset curls yesterday, you'd think I was giving birth!Purefilth said:With the size and shape I am I wouldn't blame you! Exactly lol
Some guy did look at me funny but he could see I was on Dropsets. I think it may have been the face I was pulling that got the funny looks.
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.

Just a twinge, then a deep ache. It's fine now, just my body telling me to give it a rest.Lifeforce said:What's up with the elbow m8?
