She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Yeah I guess, there is definitely something weird going on with the pulldown...which concerns me because i'm using it next week as my backwidth exercises...:crazy:Quagmire911 said:
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.
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.

Wow thanks for your kind words quagQuagmire911 said:
yeah, up about 60lbs and my lifts are a lot higher now. I'm still pretty weak (relative to the big lads) but I've made decent progress and to be fair I was abnormally weak to begin with (imagine an 18yr old guy who is 8 stones, 110lbs, lol...)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.
haha, nah not really mate, I don't think I have the genetics for it anyway. Plus I get fat too easily. Why you ask mateMad Manic said:
lol, nah man, I don't think there's any way I could be a pro BBer unless you put me on all the gear in americaI-tallionStallion said:shaunuk...you know damn well you could be one with enough dedication
Get fat too easily? You are a endomorph? How do you know?
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.
Yeah, I used to follow carb cutoffs religiously but now I'm at uni it can be a problem sometimes. I'm in catered halls, which is a disadvantage because I've then gotta find extra food, like dozens of eggs, shakes, tuna, chicken etc but in a struggle to get the protein I sometimes end up drinking some milk a few hours before bed or something like that.I-tallionStallion said:Well with a carb cut-off and morning cardio (read WBA's thread on losing fat while gaining muscle) I think you would be fine. It takes years to get big. I'm at 202...on the edge of getting to 12% body fat
I think you could get as big as you like. You just got to eat big, and watch those carbs. I get fat easily too FYI. It sucks, but with hard work you can pull it off.
. What height are you btw?Yeah I heard that too. I'm about 5'8 mateQuagmire911 said:DC will get you there mate...
I think Dante started at something like 140-150 and is now around 280. If mass is your thing of course
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.
