"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Thanks warboss =) Post a couple of pics of your wheels man, so I have something to strive for. :up: Seems we have the same genetics, so it would be cool to see where my legs will end up after 10 years of training.

C'mon people I know there are lots of people who have made transformations.

Here is MFs one lost 78 lbs!

Mind over Matter is anoter great example, but I don't have any pics. Looks totaly awesome and is a big inspiration for me. He's cut to the bone and big at the same time.
 

"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.

Right now your legs are more defined than mine are, so, err.. you can be the quad king for the moment. ;)

Hey semag, do you have a light case of gynecomastia or is is it all muscle in your chest? No to piss you off, as I do have gyno myself, I'm just curious.

alright boys

lifeforce, awesome legs mate. i'm training mine twice a week now; we'll see what happens

these pics are a year old.

http://www.forum.bodybuilding.com/showpost.php?p=4025195&postcount=32

since then, i've managed to lose 5lbs (scary thought that tbh, but i've been getting my share of cardio), while adding 20kg to my bench, 40kg to my deads and 30kg to my squats, so my shapes a lot better; i'll put some new pics on soon.
 

"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.

Great transformation man. =) Yeah Diesels stuff really kill the strength. =( Terrible. What are your maxes up to now?

Gav. Last time I saw you it was those exact pics I saw. It will be great to see the new pics dude, improving that much in the core exercises usually means alot bigger. :D Thanks for the compliment btw.

*feels current boobage* they don't feel like girl boobs... and I think my bench isn't too bad... Damnit man, now you have me all self conscious!

Double: I haven't maxxed in a while and I'm taking this week off... but lemme see, my last workouts were 265 for 6 or 7 on squats, paused at the bottom (ATG) for 2 seconds. I was hitting 385 for 4 (w/ wrist straps) on deads, although I could cleanly pull like 330 w/ no straps for 1. My bench workout was at like 255 x 5, but I need to work on keeping my ass down on the bench ;)

Those pics were 5'10" & 170 lbs?? (at the end)

Now I'm like hovering around 200lbs, but not quite that low a body fat... I think I'm maybe 10-13 lbs of fat away from that point... so maybe 20 lb lean mass gain? not sure. I do know I'm a lot stronger than those pics.
 

"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 feel you man i hate low calorie cutting cycles too.....i will do it the DC way next time too =)

chinups sound really good to me considering your "high" bf

your rows prove to me that everybodys bench is a bit better than their row except for lifeforce :D

"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.
