"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.

Theres this show in america where contestants compete for (I think) 100,000 dollars. Every week there is a weigh in and out of the 2 people that loose the least amount of weight, one gets voted off the show. Now they workout either 6-7 days a week, when they hop on that scale they loose like 6-7 pounds..A guy last night lost 10 pounds in one week! How is this even possible? Thats a little more than one pound per day?
 

"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.

When you're a whale, the weight will come off much faster.

Yeah when you're that big losing those kind of big numbers at times you've got to figure half is water, some is muscle and the rest is fat that is all being lost.

Even if it was all water it still has benefits in being lost in that it decreases stress on the guy's body to carry all that weight of water around.

I think about 30% of them put the weight right back on

"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.

This is the one reality show that I think is GREAT!

It is a good motivational tool for others to change their lifestyle.

The guy that won the 1st season wrestled for Iowa before. One day in wrestling practice in high school, we wrestled for 60 minutes and I lost 5 and half lbs. it was mostly water. We were encouraged to drink plenty of water to replace what we lost.
