"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.

Six Pack in Two Months 1-23 to 3-21

"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.

I don't think you can make six pack in 2 month because you need to do a lot of struggle. You should avoid to drink alcohol completely.
The **** do you know ? He isn't grossly fat just a tad overweight if he goes super strict lifts heavy and hard, does cardio and actually does a proper cut without giving up over the next 8-12 weeks. Then yes he can have a so called 6 pack in that time, it just depends on how badly he wants it.

So today I learned that you need to have a caloric deficit to lost fat. That means alcohol has to go. No more drunk sex with Extenze pills anymore. I'm okay with that. Doing the 5x5 StrongLifts because it focuses on my core. I made my own squat rack today, what you guys think?

Please tell me that isn't your squat rack...Get yourself into a proper gym.

You don't have to cut out alcohol completely, just use some moderation.

This. ^^^

Pay the per monthly fee for a gym. You're gonna hurt yourself with that squat contraption.

Do you have 3 plates on one side and 2 on the other????

I like your persistence but don't compromise safety.

A caloric deficit can be accomplished with or without alcohol.

Know how many calories you have to take in per day and stick to it. On weekends I like to drink a few so I adjust my calories.

MODERATION.
I agree with everything in this post.

Also keep in mind that a pint or so of a nice dark beer, like a stout, every now and then is actually pretty good for you.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

I splurged this weekend, +1500 calories over my maintenance each day. College parties man.

As of this morning - http://imgur.com/QvLV3PX

I started going to the gym and eating healthy April 1st until now. Dropped from 172 (similar to the first post) to 160. I'm trying to go for the Bruce Lee look, but can't seem to consistently go below 155. I know I have to give up drinking, which is 1500 excess calories a week.

"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.

Ok.. What is AMOG?

Neg? Naa.. Just having fun :) actually your doing pretty good. I myself have about 10lbs to drop, currently 195lbs @ 6'2" like to be 185 and get rid of the small muffin top. Apparently it takes a weekly deficit of 3500 calories to drop one pound and each ounce of hard alcohol has aprox 65-70 calories not including mix (pop has bad carbs in it and horrible amounts of calories).

I've been working out everyday on a new lifting program. It mainly depends on the weather and my outfit. For example, the past 2 days I have been working out chest since it was hot and I wear V-necks. Tomorrow and Friday will be arms since I will most likely be wearing a slim fitted dress shirt both days. I go to the beach often on weekends so I reserve Saturday and Sunday for abs so they are more defined shirtless. Sometimes, I split that with a leg day or both days on legs. It depends on the activities I do on the beach.

You still have some love handles but that's to be expected with 1500 over maintenance..I love the progress from the first picture to the current one, though not all the fat is gone, I could see the V shape starting to form and you don't look so blocky anymore.

Your Squat rack is LOL. Keep up the work and please don't kill yourself on that squat rack.

Today. Was. Leg. Day.

I was nearing the end of my workout using the Lay-Down Glute machine. This chick I have seen occasionally passes by and I get a whiff of her perfume. Dat Ass in black yoga pants jeez. She sits in that Spread Eagle Hip machine next to me. So, the protein shake kicks in and I get a testosterone boost. With the force of 1,000 Spartans I feel a raging boner incoming. At that very moment, my thighs cramp up. I couldn't move them. Standing up would mean I'd be on the sex offender list. My only option was to continue the workout on a cramped thigh. The chick glances over as I painfully and pathetically push 50lbs for the next 5 minutes.

Should I cancel my gym membership?
 

"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.
