"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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 can't go to gym nor do i have weights at home............:(

so what else can i do to excerise my thigh muslces
 

"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.

never heard of anyone asking for advice on thighs... but i would suggest treadmill or jogging. good for building muscles in that area.

but dont forget that's its a type of cardio exercise, so watch what you burn.

"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.

LMAO, I hope we all know that DJmonk is BS-ing us! LOL, sarcasm never ceases to amuse me.:cheer:

Generally, you can forget about BUILDING muscle without gym or weights. Least you can do is spring for a set of dumbells- around HK$500 will do.

The only way to build muscle is with weights.

If you don't have any do some pushups.... with someone/something on your back. Get a backpack and fill it with some rocks or scrap metal or something and do pushups.

Same with squats. And pullups.

For thighs, try lunges; but if you don't do them right, they won't work.

Also, stretch every day.

Stretching is good for warming up your muscle in preparation for working it out. If you want to find the proper way to do lunges, you need to go to a gym and watch how a trainer or someone else does it - if you get advice on doing it from words on a screen odds are very good you'll screw it up (not intentionally, but it's like trying to learn how to smile by reading an explanation).

By the way, why can't you go to a gym or buy weights for your house?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

God, i reaqlly hate it when people think push-ups and sit-ups will give them a great body in like a month!

Listen, if you really, and i mean REALLY, want to get the body you want you'll have to lift weights and have a good diet!

1) Buy a bench

2) Buy a barbell with weights

3) Buy dumbells

4) Work out with a proper routine

5) Get a proper diet going (high in protein etc...)

Not wanting to 'give out' to you or anything but this is the way to do it.

GOOD THIGH EXERCISES:

SQUAT (CRUCIAL!)
DEADLIFTS (CRUCIAL!)



GOOD CHEST EXERCISES:

DIPS (leaning forward)
INCLINE BB* PRESS (wide grip)
FLAT DB** PRESS (flex chest muscles together at top of movement)

Hope that helps!

*BB=Barbell
**DB=Dumbell
