"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.

"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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increased squat/deadlift as usual.
Bench is still the same. I almost got all 3 sets in except for the very last rep on the very last set, I needed a spot for that one. Won't be increasing the weight til I get all 3 sets in without any assistance.
btw, Squats are starting to get haaaard! Like holy, I'm really pushing myself now. ATG squats are a b!tch, but it feels good after.
And I've been abit lazy and haven't been keeping track of what I eat each day. But I'm for sure not eating enough. I'm always busy with things so sometimes I just forget to eat. My body doesn't get hungry, its wierd. I have to force feed myself most of the time.

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:
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I'll try and find a scale somewhere, but for now i'll estimate.
Diet for today:
Meal 1: egg omolete - 3 whole eggs, 200g ham, half an onion, 5 mushrooms.
Meal 2: Protien shake - 1 scoop whey, 250ml milk, ice cream, banana
Meal 3: stir fried noodles, ginger beef, sushi, sweet & sour pork, veggies
Meal 4: fried rice, fruits, ice cream, and alot of chinese food (went to a buffet
)Meal 5: Soup - Turkey, noodles, beans, carrots
Meal 6: Protien Shake - whey, milk
Workout for today:
Squats - 3x5x165lbs +5lbs
Bench - 3x5x125lbs
Deads - 2x5x140lbs
Omg, the workout today was HELL!
I didn't get enough sleep the night before so I was extremely low on energy after I did those darn squats.
I got all 3 sets in for bench, I'll increase on Friday. Deadlifts I know I could've done more, I just didn't have the energy to do them.
I was sooo tired after, I couldn't even do dips.
Lesson learnt, get enough rest before working out!!
Meal 1: Turkey sandwich with glass of milk
Meal 2: Protien Shake (1 banana, ice cream, milk, whey, yogurt) + hotdog on whole wheat bread
Meal 3: Bagel with Cream Cheese + Beef Submarine (veggies, beef, white bread)
Meal 4: Rice, fish, veggies
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.

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:

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
