"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.
One hundred pushup challenge!

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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.
"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.

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.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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.
