"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Is there any benefit to doing a few push ups right before you go to sleep? im saying like 4 to 5 sets of 20?
 

"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.

If it doesn't interrupt your sleep, you should be fine. But try to find some time during the morning/day to workout.

Correct me if i'm wrong but if you do a bunch of exercises then go to sleep, aside from being good at push-ups you are going to be burning muscle if you don't atleast eat something afterwards.

"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.

I did them when I had a bout of insomnia on my teacher's recommendation. Pushups before bed helped wear me out, but the situps...kept me awake. I don't have these sleep problems anymore.

I randomly do like 10 pushups whenever. It's not going to harm a thing unless you're planning to do hundreds before bed. PWO pushup nutrition.. hahahahaha... I don't know why you'd want to do 4-5 sets of 20. Why so many?

As long as you eat a good dinner I can't see how doing 100 pushups is goi9ng to burn much if any muscle. It just won't burn that much calories anyway. The only thing you have to worry about is the sleep thing.
 

"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.

I personally can do 48-51 in a row @ 203 lbs. My twig-looking friend does about 81 in a row.
