"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.
pull up / chin ups, how effective

"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.

"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.

"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.

I'm your height. just bend the knees.SayWord? said:
Don't swing or kip. Go up slowly in a nice controlled manner. Then all the way down until the elbows almost lock or fully lock (I always lock my elbows).
Don't be one of those "half-rep" guys who think they're bad a$$es because they crank out a bunch really fast but only go half-way down.
Correct! Full extention of the arm! Otherwise you won't be workin the full muscle. Try and lift urself up so the bar touchs ur chest everytime you reach the peak of a rep. Pinches up them muscles a lil more. :rockon:Teflon_Mcgee said:

Why do you consider it the girly way? At my gym I haven't seen one woman do a pullup and most of the guys either use underhand or a variation of overhand and underhand.

If you want a wide back you have to do them overhand (palms facing away).
For most people (people who don't train) this is much harder than underhand grip. It's weird because you are actually using a larger group of stronger muscles doing it overhand, so it seems it should be easier.
Doing it underhand isolates more of the bicep and takes alot of strain off the back. Trust me, as some one who at one point was doing 300 pull-ups per day, this will not build you like overhand grip will.
Even arnold considers wide grip pull-ups one of the best back builders there is.
Underhand is the girl way. Why? I don't know. It just is.

Word. For the record, I train with every grip including nutreal, underhand, both on a towel, and one on a towel one on the bar (over and underhand).
It's good to hit a variety.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
