"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.

ok I just brought a 70lb heavy bag and 16oz gloves. Im ready to start hitting the bag real soon to get my money's worth. Anyone know a good workout plan I could do so I could start to lose this weight :)
If I follow that eating guide on the Cutting post and do some cardio exercise like boxing, jumping rope, and running, how long do you think it will take for me to lose 30 pounds. Right now I weight 205.
 

"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.

Shadow boxing: (punching in the air)

3 min Jab
3 min Cross
3 min Uppercut

Rest 1 min

3 min hook
6 min various combos

Rest 1 min

9 min various combos

All the while, make sure you are practicing footwork to.

For the heavy bag workout do 5, 5 minute rounds, all out, combinations.

If you have never boxed before, take some lessons to learn how to punch right to avoid injury.

Now for the other stuff:

work your self up to 500 crunches a day, 100 pushups in 80 seconds, and 3 sets 60 reps doing pullovers, with a 35 lb dumbell. This will build your endurance, and get you cut, and fit. When working yourself up to this level, do it slowly, start with only 60 crunches a day, 40 pushups, and 3 sets of 30 with the pullovers.

And yeah, don't forget about running, and skipping rope.

This will hopefully get you started.

and before you start your workout, warm up!!!!!! I cannot stress this enough.

Yeap...follow DJ Jeff's advice...also lose the gloves...they are heavy and will make you tired alot quicker...I do however recommend gettting some wrist wraps....make sure you put them on tight...after hitting the bag for the first time your wrists will probably be a little sore...don't worry this is normal....do some knuckle pushups...to strengthen your wrists....after a few weeks...they shouldn't hurt at all....

so it is safe to not use the gloves? I dont want hurt my hands or anything. In that case, I can get my money back I hope :)
Thanks Jeff, sounds like a pretty good work out except the push up part. Dont think I can do that many in a short time. Doing this workout 3 times a week is ok right?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

You want to start off with gloves untill you start hitting the bag right. 3 times a week is fine.

Tae bo is shyte.

If you want to learn some combos and punches, try taking a few classes at a boxing gym or kickboxing dojo. You can learn some moves, then practice at home. The atmosphere is really good at those places- high energy, and people don't f-around- they're there to box and workout.

For doing it on your own, take DJ Jeff's advice.

And don't forget to stretch out *all* your muscles before and after boxing. It'll kill your sides, back and arms if you don't.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Just go as hard as you can for a minute or two and then take a rest. Then go hard again for another minute or two and then take a rest. Go until you feel fatigued.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
