"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.

Just wondering.
 

"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.

Conditioning is king, power lifting is second.

I'd say I'm a combination of most of those... I love olympic lifting, powerlifting is fun too.

I have a very tough time gaining weight while still staying lean, but I'd say I'm still into bodybuilding.

Conditioning is something I need to work on. ... I hate cardio!
 

"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.

Bodybuilding.

The only powerlift I do is squatting.
Bodybuilding makes it sound like I spend my time doing curls and kickbacks, but in the main it's still compounds, presses, DB rows, etc.

Conditioning & powerlifts. Gotta do both for MMA amateurs, as I get closer to the fights, weightlifting is more endurance focused.

Power lifting all the way. Well, I throw in a little bit of bodybuilding exercises but that's to supplement and power the big 3's.

I'd rather be the scrawny guy lifting massive weights than the scrawny guy super setting curls and kickbacks. ;)
