"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

if you're just starting out, lose ALL the fat first and get down to 8% bodyfat.

then from there, start a clean bulk. for precise numbers, use somewhere inbetween diesel's cutting and bulking guides.
 

"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.

id go down to 10% man, to me 14% is too high to start a bulk on. 14% is what you should be after your bulk is done.

Well, I have already started bulking. I have gained about 20 lbs in the last 4 months. But, i have gone up from about 17/18 % bf to about 19/20% bf.

Sounds like you are saying I should drop to 10% before bulking again.

On another note, how accurate are those body fat scales anyway. I have a 5 yr old tanita body fat scale that i am using. I am wondering if that is giving me the right reading.

Ok so where can I find those bf tests <question mark> So basically what you're saying, is that I should first cut to 10 % of bf then bulk up to 14%, right <question mark>

One more thing, when I'm bulking up I need to constantly put more and more wight on my muscles so they could grow, could I just take a bottle of 10l of water and do crunches with her on me <question mark> I mean that would add 10 kg on my weight so my muscles would need to work more <fullstop>

p.s.
:rolleyes: Hope you like my fullstopes now <fullstop> :p
