"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.

I'm a skinny guy, 5'8" 140lbs. I have a slab of fat over my abs that slightly juts out from the rest of my body when viewing my body from the side. Its making my jeans excessively tight on me.

I'm not looking for washboard abs, I just want to get rid of that small mound of of fat.


Is 36-72 minutes of good cardio workout a day (I've always been in decent shape, 72 mins isn't that stressing for me),
plus a diet consisting solely of very-lean meat/eggs, fruits and veggies (emphasis on veggies due to fewer carbs)

the way go about achieving my goal, without turning me into a weak sluggish zombie at work?

thanks for any advice.
 

"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.

It may be something not related to bodyfat. I've always had a bit of a gut and when I was 8% bodyfat and I had veins popping in my arms, sometimes my abs just went straight from an awesome 8-pack to a real gut. I think the only solution to make this problem go away is to get overall bigger, so that the stomach won't be protruding anymore. Now that I've gained 30 lbs, it surely shows less.

Don't starve yourself of carbs, but try to keep them low GI. 100% Whole Wheat Bread (watch out for some 100% WW breads with High Fructose Corn Syrup), Oatmeal (not instant), brown rice, yams, etc. With the exception of the veggies, nix the carbs in the last 4 or so hours before bed.
