"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.

I usually have a weak grip but at times when my hand is really dry after washing it off it gets better. How do I get a stronger grip?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

I used grip trainer "Heavy Grips" from 150-300lbs of resistance. Also you can do hold weight for time using your grip. The "heavy grips" did help, and made nicer looking forearms. They are also great stress relievers during the business day.

Use chalk if your gym allows it, or liquid chalk since it makes less of a mess. Sweaty hands are grip kryptonite.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

In my experience the only way to get a better grip is to lift heavy weights. Deadlifts in particular. But other that increasing strength all over, I have nothing to help. No matter how much I train my forearms, some dude can come along who has natural grip strength and crush me in a handshake if he wanted.

Best bet, if you have weak hands/forearms, is simply to maximize them so you aren't a weakling. But if your wrist/bone structure is small, forget about them ever being a strength.

I do suggest a lot of hanging exercises, they have created cool striations in my forearms. Gives you an illusion of power I guess.

Get "Captains of Crush" grippers....extremely well made and your hands feel like jello afterwards...

Also look into things call FatGripz that slide over DB's and barbells and force your forearms to do a lot more work
