"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.

WHats the ideal weight for my height. Right now I am bulking up, and I plan to stop at 152 (currently 137pounds) Then I will begin cutting. What do you guys think?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Sounds good, but don't rely on "ideal weight." It's complete BS. According to it, I'm almost obese, and so are some guys at my gym who are super-cut.

172cm is about 5'8" right? Obviously there are a lot of variables, but I would aim for 160-180 depending on your build etc.

Less than that... for 5'10 it's 156lbs... I'd guess under 150

Since I am short, I dont want to bulk up to the point where I look short and stocky.

I want to get those lean cut build, so that I can "appear" taller. I am also aiming for <8% body fat.:)

If you're an ectomorph (skinny extremities and limbs, small waist, narrow shoulders), it will take a LARGE amount of weight training to look "bulky and stocky". So don't worry about that too much. Your main focus should actually be the opposite -- 'filling out'.

I am an ectomorph too, and although I work out religiously, I see no need for worrying about getting stocky. I would need to weigh at least 185 to look bulky, in my opinion. I'm 5'8.5" right now, and am shooting for 165-170.

Hey there,
I'm not sure about what the ideal weight fo ryou would be. When I did my medical, I was 143lbs, which I was told was good for someone my height. So if you are around 140 I guess that should be ok.
 

"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.

I am about 1.72cm as well. It isn't necessary to bulk excessively. Marky Marky is a great example of someone in this height range. His weight range is around 160-170lb. Scale weight is very generic, I think it would be fair to say that I am carrying a similar amount of muscle as him. I am not saying I am Marky Mark, just that that is a realistic body at that height to strive for. Just enough so you don't look too barilly in clothes.

It really depends, there is no right or wrong answer. What size your frame is, how dense your bone structure is, how much muscle you have, etc...

I would say probably somewhere between 150 and 180, but I am the same height and look good at 200 lbs because I am broad and muscular. I want to get down to about 185 or do for bodyfat reasons, but I am fine at this weight. Some football players at this height weigh 220 lbs...so it really depends on the amount of muscle you are carrying...
