"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Around July I got pretty sick and dropped down to 49kgs (108lbs). My waist size dropped and I had to poke a new hole in my belt!

A few months ago I found my health again and made it to 57kgs (126lbs). My gym program is really working for me and I'm noticeably bigger on the upper body. I also started squatting and can now squat my own body weight. My waist grew two belt sizes

However, in the past few weeks my waist size has once again shrunk two belt sizes and I'm back to using the new hole I punched in. I still weigh 126lbs though, how can this be???
 

"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.

I believe it's a good thing, so don't fret. The same thing happened to me. I don't think your waist muscles grow particularly big, so without any fat I expect it to remain the same size.

Waist don't grow much except when added fat. Great work dude! that's almost 20 pounds increase.
 

"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.

Uh, if he weighs 126lbs now, and was still living at 108lbs, I'm guessing there was almost no fat on him to begin with. ;)
