"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.

One hundred pushup challenge!

"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.

Even though I don't have much right now, reps to anyone who, at the end of this, PM's me or posts a video of yourself doing 100 straight pushups. No editing.

Week 2, (Repeat week 1 work out, day 2)

4
3
2
2
1 (minimum of 4)


Again, I wasn't able to complete the whole work out. As you can see, I was 3 short on the minimum (4) for the final set. I will definitely repeat week 1 again next week.

On the plus side, I am most definitely making progress. The simple act of pushing myself up off the floor no longer feels like death! In fact, when I start to struggle I feel my muscles slip into a whole new gear to finish the push up. Nice

Was going to start back on that monday but a series of lost internet connections, delayed flights, and illness have impeded my progress... I'll start this on my own tomorrow. Cheers!

Just keep plugging away man. Remember...A lot of things hurt the first time you do them. Only with repetition do things become easier.
 

"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.

Make sure you are eating right, sleeping, and getting lots of water.

"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.

wow this is getting harder for some reason
I bet it's because your muscles are being challenged for the first time. You breezed through week 1 correct?

For me, doing the first week on easy has felt like I'm dying. But that's because I weigh 280 and have skinny arms. However, I am starting to make progress. Just remember that when you encounter resistance that means you are pushing yourself to new limits.

Keep at it man
