"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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'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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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

Eat something please.
 

"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.
