Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
Even at 16 you should still be gaining more than 7lbs in 3months. I don't think your eating enough. Start posting your exact diet up every single day for awhile in quantities (would be great if you could get a cheap food scale and measure things out)noodle said:Its been around 3 months since i started the program and I've gone from around 120lbs to around 127lbs.
Is that good gain or not?
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.
heh that was wittyI-tallionStallion said:Yes. Don't be in a rush to gain more than a few pounds a month, your body is growing because you are so young, don't be surprised if you don't grow one month and sporadically grow the next. If you gain about 2-3 lbs a month, you could gain up to 36 pounds in one year. Which is great! My younger brother who weighed 113lbs started on new years and is up 27lbs already. Which is a dramatic difference. Don't overthink, just eat lift and get a good nights sleep.
Keep it up, and before you know it you'll be a lasagna
if something like that comes again then have a liquid meal or hell have some junk food, eat whatever you can get your hands on. bad calories are better than no calories especially in your case.noodle said:Meal 5:miss
meal 6:miss
Well, I missed alot of meals yesterday because I had this huge ass movie to edit/film. I had about 15 guys over at my house, we were filming all night non-stop. It was the only night we could all gather together for a long while so we had to get as much done as possible.
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.
