"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.

Two quick questions...

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

1. Workouts should not last more than an hour to prevent overtraining.

2. There are three main exercises in developing pectoral mass in my opinion and they are 1) Incline DB Presses 2) Flat DB Presses 3) Dips( leaning forward)

Hope this helps. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Fvck you. I'm naturally a long distance runner. My shoulders, back, and arms are progressing, but I'm still trying to build some more mass on my torso, and my pecs are a particular problem area.

Again, why do you post when you have nothing to add?

Long distance running and Gaining Mass are like oil and water...they just dont mix....Like I said before...you need to eat extra calories to gain masss.when your running you are burning tons of calories....
 

"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.

I know. I've stopped running, but like I said, its a natural predilection, so even though I'm 'out of shape' I could still probably get up an run five miles easily. I'm eating more, but my metabolism always seems to be two steps ahead of me, so I'm having to work harder too. I'm just tired of being an ectomorph, you know?

I know all to well what you mean about being an ectomorph...but Ill tell you I ran CC in highschool and my first few years of college, I loved it had tons of fun and was somewhat good....I was skinny until this year, im 25 now....if your a teen age your in your prime growing years...just work out hard...and eat, eat, eat....dont worry about putting on fat while bulking unless your fat, and example of why it would be bad if your fat is the following, if you are at 10% body fat and increase to 15 or 20 % bodfat then your still in the normal range, however if you go from 18 to 28% body fat you went from a normal to really fat....

Quite the contrary, me and Wheelin go waaaay back in terms of our mutual distaste for the other. Though pardo my outburst, I didn't know the phrase 'fvck you' was now exclusive to the elementary school croud...

(sorry to post on-topic)

Dont forget flies. They are good to put in between your presses. For instance, what I do:

1) Decline press (3 sets)
2) Flies (2 sets)
3) Incline press (2 sets)

The flies give my triceps a break while I still work my chest.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
