Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Umm, cardio?

Edit: Sorry, I thought you were asking how to decrease waist size. My mistake.

Ahh trust me, you want as slim a waist as you can get. Just buy pants with smaller waists.

I agree, increasing your waist size without increasing your entire body proportionately is just plain unhealthy. Put more effort on taking advantage of a small waist by working on increasing arm, shoulder, back and chest size to capitalize on it. Don't forget to balance out with leg exercises so as not to have the "toothpick legs" look.

28 is a good size to be, as it's on the small end of common men's pants. You could go for the Dior model look, which probably isn't very popular on this board.
 

"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.

Your chest size should be EXACTLY 56. For your height and weight, if you go over, even to 56.1 that is ToO MuCH!!! And if you go under you are tO0 SkINnY!! It has to be EXACtLY 56!!!!

Look around. Use your eyes. You know what you want to look like. Who cares about the average?


And bulking is different for everyone. The whole peoint is to put on muscle... and fat and cut the fat later. What you look like when bulking will not be the same when you cut it off.
 

"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.

You sound like you're Dior proportions now. Buy a straw hat and a Slimane suit and you can be Pete Doherty!

This is the Dior look: http://dio.no-blog.jp/un/images/b008_thumb.jpg

This is a very fashionable look in Europe and Japan right now. If it's not for you, eat more. But you're not alone in the skinny waist department: Clark Gable had a 30" waist and a 44" chest. You could bulk and look like him. As for how, you should listen to the guys here - all I know is fashion.

I was a 28 size when I was 21 years old. Now, I'm a 33 size. But, I'm also bigger than before (shoulders, chest, and back).

When I was 28 size, I was 145-150 lbs. Now, I'm 175 lbs (5feet 11 inches).

I don't know how old are you, so I'm afraid of giving you advice on this issue. But one thing is for sure...now that I'm in my upper 30s (age wise) it is a lot harder to keep in shape.

No offense...but I personally don't want to look effeminate ("Dior look"?) and certainly NOT like a Japanese man either.

And it is obvious that he doesn't either.

But having a 28 inch waist is not a bad thing.
