"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.

I have been training pretty hard for about 2 or 2 and a half months. I am 5'10. I went from weighing 149 to now I just weighed myself and I'm at 161. Am I on target?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Good job man. To answer your question however, it depends on what your goals are.

Also what are your core lifts like? Lifts like front/back squat, deads, bench, cleans, etc. What is your body comp like?

core lifts are bench, deadlift, squat. i workout 3 times a week in that order. I also do cardio for at least 20 minutes AFTER each workout. my goal is to get to around 175. my body comp is normal i guess.

Yep, you're right, bench, deads, squat are core lifts for powerlifting. However, I like to incorporate some olympic lifting stuff into the mix as well. I believe it makes you a more complete athlete. Post your raw numbers.

I'm gonna encourage you to stay away from purely focusing on bodyweight goals. Although I'm totally guilty of this as well, I think you should focus more on getting stronger and better conditioned, rather than just aiming to be at a certain bodyweight.

By body composition I mean how lean you are...this is often hard to estimate, but for most people, having a 6-pack means that you're in the single digits bodyfat %. You can get bodyfat tested by a variety of methods.
 

"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.

Well, I definitely don't have a 6-pack. I have a spare tire that I'm trying to get rid of. That's why I do cardio. I kind of agree with you on focusing on strength and conditioning rather than bodyweight. I just don't want to get extremely big. I know that If I gain around 15 more pounds in muscle, I will be very strong and conditioned. I don't however, want to get over that number.

my numbers aren't anything to write home about.

bench-185
deadlift-295
squat-245
