You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
Hams are normally naturally "weaker". However due to shape, some guys hams may "pop" more from the rear. IF you feel it's imbalanced, put in some ham work. Leg curls, glute hamstrock raise, lunges will get you those developed athletic looking hams that aren't on every day joes.
It doesn't bother me, I'm just wondering how I could get the rest of my body to get stronger without actually being big, just like my hams are. I guess you could say I'm aiming for that 'wiry' strength.
Get enough protein without getting too much "fuel" ( carbs ). Have enough to power you thru the day but not a lot more. Lift and excersize and you will grow. Amino acid supplements help. It takes time to put on meat.
But that's the thing, I don't want any more mass at all. I could just lift and get bigger without getting fatter. I burn more energy than most people do, so I could get mass without the fat fairly easily. I'm just looking to be like one of those freaks who are super strong/powerful but skinny as heck somehow. Strength without size, like those third worlders. Like CNS development I guess.
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.
For you to look stronger some NEW muscle will come on, IE: pounds.
No I mean I don't want to LOOK stronger, I want to BE stronger. I want to get stronger WITHOUT getting bigger.
You'll get a little bigger. Or some fat you have now will come off replace with harder muscle. You don't have a lot of fat on you, but there is some. You won't be "too big" if you gain 10lbs in strategic places. Imagine how much meat 10lb of steak is.
Ok that's fine. My main goal is to just be a lot stronger than I look. I'm comfortable with my physique right now. I always focused on strength whenever I exercised, any differences in looks was just a byproduct of training. Anyway, thanks for your input.
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.
I think its genetic. I work my quads so much more often, I rarely ever use my hamstrings to begin with. My muscular endurancw in my quads is a lot better though. Just nor strength or power.
