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.
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.
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.[S]alvatore said:Ahh trust me, you want as slim a waist as you can get. Just buy pants with smaller waists.
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.
Eating.theory of knowledge said:are there excercises to increase the waist size? i have a 28 (yeah i know) and really can't fit into many pairs of pants, im 5'8, hoping to go up to a 30, or a 32?
possible?
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!!!!theory of knowledge said:okay, so if i keep my waist size, what should my chest size be about? right now i'm at 36 and i feel skinny.

Look around. Use your eyes. You know what you want to look like. Who cares about the average?theory of knowledge said:okay lol, im new to bulking...give me an average
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.
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).seanchai said: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.
No offense...but I personally don't want to look effeminate ("Dior look"?) and certainly NOT like a Japanese man either.seanchai said: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.
