"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.

Im not experienced in working out and sometimes feel intimidated when i go there.

Any advice?

Everybody does at first dude. I know what you're saying, all those big ass dudes giving you looks and sh!t. Don't worry about them, just zone them out and do your thing.


My problem is the hoes at the gym. When there's fine ass honeys around in some skimpy shorts, I just can't seem to focus like I should.

focus on your workouts and not on others

although you could use it to your advantage, knowing that you'll look like they do after you really get into shape.

print out the complete list of compound movements with pictures from bodybuilding.com or purchase a workout book which shows you how to do each exercise (i reccomend weight training workouts that work by james orvis) practice form at home with a broomstick for barbell and 2 bananas for dumbels.

when you think you have mastered perfect form and you have constructed a workout regimen, go to the gym and practice with light weights which should let you pump out reps in the 20-30's (this will prepare your body for the punishment to follow). do this for 1 month then move on to a bulking routine in a low rep range 4-10.
 

"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.

Once you can use the hotties as motivation for your workout, to add 5-10lbs to your lifts with the same form, you know your set at the gym :)

Thanks guys, im due to go in two hours at 8pm when its a bit quieter (hopefully!) to get my form right.

Last week the gym instructor showed me how to do dumbell presses. He gave me two 16kg in each hand. I could do about 10 reps with these but my technique was awful as it was my first time.

Should i use 8kg on each hand tonight to get used to it?

Dont wanna look like a weak little chump tho! :p

Get your form down, then go heavy.

to echo what's been said there's nothing to worry about. Just keep it light and work on form and make sure you educate yourself first. We all start somewhere and most people only 'laugh at' or 'look down' at the guy who is inventing crazy looking exercise and has no clue what hes doing or the guy who throws 3 plates on the bench and has 6 spotters help him get the weight up.

yea we all felt that way. dont worry. none of us really care what you're doing unless its something that will get your hurt or disturb us.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
