"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Hi Guys. I was hoping to get some advice. I've always been thin my whole life. It doesn't matter if I don't do any exercise, sit on my arse and eat junk I still don't get fat. I was considering joining a gym and trying to gain some muscle but I've got a feeling it'll be really hard to gain weight. Does anyone have any idea where I should start? I don't want to become a big buff guy, just some what more defined.

I'm:

19 Years old
120 lbs
5ft 8

Any help is appreciate.

P.S tell me if I've done this wrong. I don't want to get flamed!
 

"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.

Lift some weights and eat. If after a few weeks you still aren't gaining, eat more. If somehow you still aren't gaining weight, eat more still.

Join the gym, do a routine like Stronglifts 5x5 or Ripptoe, something that consists of compounds lift (exercises that use many muscles).

Eat like a beast, some people suggest drinking a gallon of milk a day but you WILL gain quite a bit of fat. Cut down the amount of milk you drink if you want to keep fat gain to a minimum.

Lots of protein and carbs.

You'll need around 2400 cals a day to gain weight, how many cals a day do you eat atm?

How much do you want to weigh?

I'm not entirely sure how much I eat a day. Being small I find it really hard to eat alot. I'm going to estimate just under 2000 calories.

I'd like to weigh about 140 - 150lbs I guess! So I just don't look so thin.

"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.
