Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

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.

"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

crunches are,

you get in the same position as sit-ups but you only raise your top body about 20% above the floor instead of going all the way up in situps, also put your hands across your pecks instead of behind your head so it puts the strain on your abs and not your neck,

try it mate, it works the abs a lot harder and brings out your 6 pack a lot better than sit-ups

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Are you doing these situps in sets or just 150 reps from beginning to end? Really, sets of 10-20 reps should be enough to exercise your abs. If you're not feeling the strain, try doing them much slower and/or hold a dumbell as you do.

I personally do 3 x 50. Then do 3 x 20 leg raises. I do this 3 times a week and it does the job for me!

Oh and yes, your shoulders should no hurt. Make sure you tense your muscles and make sure you know you are using your abs to pull you up when doing situps. A lot of people use the wrong muscles in the gym to do their various exercises, and thus, they make slow gains!

"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.

Go to skinnyguy.net, click on Mass Tips, then "How to Reveal Your Six-Pack of Abs," or something like that.

you sound like you are doing your sit ups wrong? the reason your neck is sore is probably because your pulling on your neck muscles with your hands behind your head straining your neck, try doing your sit ups with your hands on the side of your head so you dont yank your head forward with each sit up and concentrate on using your abdominals, dont cheat by trying to swing your body up and not using your abs.

I also like to do my sit ups in 125 - 150 sets, I usually do 125 then rest 5 or 10 minutes and do another 125 -150
