"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.

I remember hearing some people being told they are wrong when they said thta after excersize their six pack looks more defined. You muscles do not grow straight away it takes time to see more definition.

I have seen this happen aswell and whilst any one who says your muscles cant grow straight away, is correct, people who say muscles look bigger are also correct!

Darker skin makes you muscles look more define. Excersize makes your body overheat and your veins dilate bringing blood ot the surface to cool off. Whilst it is most obvious on your face, it happens on your body aswell. If you are white it will make your skin look as if you are slightly darker, so even tohu your muscles are still the same size, they do in fact look more defined after exercise (regardless of whether or not you exercised those particular muscles)
 

"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.

^ I dunno about that




2 main contributing factors are
1. "Pump" as mentioned above, which is just masive increased blood flow to the affected muscles, and, also
2. Lactic acid created from working the muscles that hasnt yet got flushed out yet

Actually, it's called muscular hypertrophy.
 

"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.

Some of these posts are scary. If you don't know what you're talking about, sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut.

It's exactly as MetalFortress said. Targeted muscles are engorged with blood due to that muscles need for extra oxygen when under stress. It's usually referred to as a 'pump'.

It is not hypertrophy. Hypertrophy comes later, as the muscle begins to repair.

It is most definitely nothing to do with tanned skin or flushed skin or whatnot.

In future lets try and keep H&F topics reasonably scientific - guessing alone is seldom grounds to lodge an 'informative' topic.

Allright e-tough guy......

Made a mistake......no need for that.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
