"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.

Just like to put in a little something beginners might not know about...

When I first started out squatting, I could never get my thighs parallel to the floor. My leg would just get "stuck" and it would never feel "normal."

I realised that it was simply because my ankles weren't flexible enough. So now, I do a little ankle stretch before I squat and voila! I can squat much lower now! (although still not arse to grass). :woo:

Anyways, if you guys don't feel comfortable suqatting, this may be the reason. Or maybe you just have bad form.

Squats really are the total pwnage. I've never been hungrier in my life after doing 4 sets of squats....:trouble:
 

"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.

Stretching your ankles makes you hungrier after 4 sets of squats than before you stretched your ankles?

Haha, yeah! Cuz after I stretch my ankles, I can squat lower, giving me a tougher workout.

Your thighs should really be AT LEAST parallel to the floor. Before, I would just stop at 60 degrees, and it wouldn't really kill my thighs as much as they do now.

Do box squats, they help with the balance and form.
 

"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.
