"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.

Hey

Just wondering how long it would releastical take to gain around 21 pounds of muscle?
 

"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.

It would depend on a lot of factors. Your level of advancement and your genetics being the main factors.

I think most newbies can accomplish 21+ within a year to year and half of training. I know I gained over 20 lbs my first year and that was on a ****ty full body workout and not eating the best diet. That's with average to below average genetics.

Now putting into account above average or awesome genetics. You could see some one doing that in half the time. You know someone with full muscle bellies, naturally strong, more free flowing testosterone, big bone structure. Which is probably most of the guys in the nfl and most black people lmao :)

For intermediate and advanced people it will gradually taper down over the years. Some guys with over 5-10 years of training experience get ecstatic when gaining just 5-10 lbs in a whole year.

Again though 21 lbs of dry muscle mass is a lot. Yet 21 lbs of muscle+added glycogen is very attainable for most given they don't eat like pigeons and train using individualized complex movements and isolation movements in a well designed split.

To gain 21 pounds of pure muscle it would take around 4-6 years.

Numbers don't mean much,just go by the look in the mirror.
 

"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.
