Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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 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.
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.
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
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 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.
