"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.

This swim season i want to get into the best shape of my life. I want to slighty reduce my body fat, and get bigger arms and chest. I can't bench though, so i guess i'll be using the machine.

Here are pics of me right now.
But i have a question first: what do i do if i want to keep the same size, but increase the power/strength? Cause bruce lee was tiny, but powerful, what kind of training do i do?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Why can't you bench?

To keep the same size simply curb calories while training purely for strength and explosiveness.

you eat enough calories to support your training but do not increase your bodyweight, yes.

Bruce Lee did alot of strength conditioning, and little strength training. In Kung Fu- bulk is not needed. His disclipine(Jeet-Kune-Do) required lots of mental, and physical conditioning. JKD also requires alot of breathing, and balance exercises. Try taking an entire shower(including shampoo) standing on one leg.....without slipping.

Most of all, Bruce Lee's clean diet of low-glycemic carbs, and high protein- is why he looks so ripped. UC Berkeley did early bodyfat analysis on him(using water submersion), and he was a shredded 3% bodyfat, at his physical prime.

Going by your pix you just need alot of upper-body weight training. You need to first put meat on your bones. You should be alright then.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
