"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Need the help of an expert - setting up a working out routine

Hi. Perhaps you could help me out.
As you can see I'm still 18 so I don't have a job just yet. I still study at college. So I can't afford a gym. That's why I do my training at home.

I do pushups (I think that that's how it's written) since I was 14 years old, so basically I have a killer body (that's what girls say :D ).
I used to do 50 pushups in a row.

But I started to think that maybe that was not too effective so I set up a "training routine":

3 series of pushups. The first one with 35 pushups and the other two with 20.
115 abdominals ina row.
3 series of 15 lateral raises (to work out shoulders).

I've been doing this for the last 3 or 4 months, alomost every day (day yes/day no) and I'm liking the results, but I know it's pretty basic or maybe some things are even wrong.
I would like to know the opinion of an expert so he could help me out preparing a training routine that I can do at home.

By the way, I don't want an extremly exagerated musculated body. I just want to mantain an enhance my body, withou becomming an extremly large guy.

Thanks.

Sorry for all expressions like "extremly large guy", but my mother language isn't the english. :D
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

As others have recommended: Doing dips between two sturdy chairs will probably take care of most upper body "enhancements". (at least to begin with :))

I have a weight bench and I do the dips on the handles that the weights would normally set on.
