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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Yeah, I know a dude names Mike Mahler who, at 6'0 and 185, bench pressed 365 pounds (he's a martial arts and kettlebell master, I'm not sure if he still benches or not). Not only is he not a juicer, he's a VEGAN. Go to www.mikemahler.com to find out about him. He's a strength coach based out of Santa Monica.Originally posted by marketboy
My friend weighs 220 and benches 350. He is also athletic, very fast.
He doesn't use roids or anything. I think he has the potential to be one of the toughest people.
Does anyone know anyone more impressive? (I don't mean professionals who take roids either)

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.
Will you honestly just shut the **** up?Originally posted by marketboy
Bruce Lee has trained for several years and is able to get everything out of his body. He has studied combat and dedicated his life to it. My friend has not.
But based on just physical attributes, my friend is much more impressive.
Next??????
you seriously think so? firstly the SAS are a small unit, so thats like saying only a few of these guys could bench 300, secondly and more important is that these guys are in top shape, they are among the best of the best. They can go for months in the jungle convering like 500km a week, they go through extreme conditions they are at a peak pf physical fitness they climb up the most ruggid terain and you do not think that even 2% could bench 300? im sure the majority could and would be suprised if in actual fact there where any of them that could not.Originally posted by Alpine
Look at the SAS guys, I bet only about 2% could bench 300, but so what.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
