"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.

Hey all,

Wondering what people's opinions on lunges are? And what the differences between them and squats are?

Please don't just give me the 'SQUAT SQUAT SQUAT' and the 'squats are better' which I know will come...

Cheers.
 

"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.

lunges are potentially very useful, esp. in a situation where you can't / won't squat. you're moving weight through space, which is never a bad thing. the same dangers apply: don't let your knees go forward of your toes, and move slowly until you've got the form.

The difference is that you can't lunge as much weight as you can squat.

Kind of like how 35 lb kickbacks aren't going to do much compared to a 250 lb close grip bench press. Ok, not that extreme.

Better are squats.
