"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Since I just joined a martial arts dojo I've desided to cancel my gym membership since money is too tight to have both (75 for dojo, 30 for gym). The dojo has a small weight lifting room, but it's missing a bench press and squat cage. Instead they have a smith machine, but I've heard nothing but bad things about those.

Should I stick to the smith machine? Or buy my own equipment? Where would be a good place to get equipment?
 

"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.

You can always use dumbells instead of a barbell if they have them. Smith machine... I just really have a biased against it. Like, if you bench 200 on the smith machine, you won't be able to do it on the bench press. You don't really use your stabilizer muscles and you can almost push it in all directions to get it up. Smith machines for squats are pretty effective, but if you have dumbells, use those instead for the bench.
