"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.

HI all.. im new here..

Ive actually browsed through here a lot, but havent registered til now.. You guys all came across as very respectable and mature poeple, and i feel comfortable here, so i figured i would join :)

So to my question...

I have always been the skinny type.. all through high school i was always the small, skinny kid.. I weighed 2 lbs, 11 ounces at birth (seriously!!).. and i can remember wrestling (i wrestled all through high school) at 70 lbs class in 7th grade! I had muscle, and bone.. and no fat.

After graduation.. and having not wrestled or played soccer anymore, since school was over..I started to change. I didnt even notice it at first.. other poeple did. Then i realized, as i stepped on a scale at college.. I had gained about 50 lbs at least.

A first i thought it was awesome.. but then I noticed other things..

For one.. my arms.. and other parts of my body.. have nasty stretch marks.. My shoulders and arms grew tremendously, for no apparent reason.. and i am afraid to wear a wife-beater because of the marks..

At first, it was all muscle growth, but now i have a lot of fat.. and its SOO WEIRD... imagine being skinny as heck all your life, and then one day your fat.. tooo weird.

I have "love-handles"now.. as their commonly called.. and its freaking me out.. so i started exercising the other day.. for real this time:rolleyes:

Its just soo weird, going from having an awesome metabolism.. to being.. chubby. My face even changes.. and i can tell if i lost weight by looking in the mirror.. its like constantly changing.. oh yeah, im 21 btw(will be march 1st).

So my question is.. does anyone have a similar experience, and if so.. how did you overcome it? And is there a way to get my metabolism back?

Thanks for listening:D
 

"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.
