"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I've been hearing alot of these... free weights VS machines debates...

My question to this thread is... can I still gain as much muscles on machines as free weights?
 

"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.

No you can't. Machines are inferior for many reasons.

Free weights work the stabalising muscles at the same time. For concentration exercises, machines are an option. Core exercises ie:bench press, squats, use free weights. It boosts strength, power and mass

Machines are good if you are nursing certain injuries. Generally most machines are poorly design and can fvck you up. Smith machines and most leg press machines especially.

In reality though, I think for many people they don't have much option. I'd go for the 'garage gym' approach any day of the week, but some people just can't do that, or face a real spit and sawdust gym with roided bench hoggers.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
