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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.hamishmarshal999 said: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.
Please tell me that isn't your squat rack...Get yourself into a proper gym.BeDJ said: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?

I agree with everything in this post.Espi said: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 could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
I know, I wiped it down after.Epimanes said:Man... That mirror is filthy lol.
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.
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.
Thanks buddy! I'm getting a lot more attraction from grandma cougars now than I get from fatties! I'm glad to be an inspiration to everyone!!!!ArcBound said: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.
This is most bro workout I've ever encounteredBeDJ said: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 paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
