"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
One hundred pushup challenge!

"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.

I understand why you put this thread in AE, and I let it stay here to get some exposure, but threads like this do belong in H&F.
p.s. good luck with the challenge
My record is 35 straight with 15lbs strapped to my back. 100 in a row would send me to the hospital!

Just thought I'd say I completed this a few months ago when I started training for the marines. I've decided to join the navy instead now.
"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.

Try it in a time limit, mate.eatgel said:
The Royal Marines say you need to do 60 in 2 minutes. Going by that I'd say try it in a time limit of 3 minutes 10 seconds. :rockon:

If only I knew how to do one hand pushups. I just keep falling over when I try to get in position. The right side of my upper body is a mess so two handed pushups are out of the question.

It's not your form, it's your strength!Captain Harlock said:
i've found that doing push up's consistently and lifting benching/butterfly press/ etc all increase your pushup's.
I do this pushup routine its kind of like a ladder. 10-1, and then 1-10.
You never break form, you can take as long of a break you want after every number but are not allowed to break form.
starts like this: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.
i almost finished 8 on the way back up but couldn't hold it anymore.
with 1 arm pushups they are really hard if u don't spread out ur legs for balance. without the balance i could do 1-2 with my left army only.
i've been trying for years to do a 1 arm pullup/chin up. 30 was my max and i still couldn't get myself to budge. Hey i figured if jet li could do it, it should be humanly possible but somehow it still seems a long ways away.

"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.
Ok, I'm bringin this one back.. First off, did anyone finish that started the program?? Final test, 100??
I've been doing with with my best friend the last month. I just hit week 4 this week and hit a wall.
I'm on level 3. Week 4, day 1:
21
25
21
21
27 (needed 32)
I needed 5 more to move on to day 2, but no dice. My plan of attack here is to keep on truckin through week 4, knowing I won't be able to complete all of it....and next week give it a go again in hopes of finishing. After that is another exhaustion test.
Any of you guys get stuck at all?? It's a bit discouraging. I am however doing Option A Workout. Been on for about 3 weeks. Both are probably a bit detrimental to one another... but the pushups seem to be helping a lot in the gym.
