"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 am about 6`2 and 210 pounds. I look fine with my clothes on, but without them there is some extra flab just laying around. I am trying to get started on a program that will help me gain a lot of muscle. I would rather get big and then cut, rather than cut down to just being a skinny tall kid. I don't have the money to goto a gym right now, however I have a weider system with bench, lat pulldown, etc etc, dumbbells, and soon will have a bench with a bar. Any of you have any suggestions for me?
 

"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.

This is the reason someone needs to make a thread for total newbie weight lifters.

I had the same problem you had, but what i did is sign up at the gym:( but since you cant do that i suggest that you work out with whatever weights you have, because working out also burns calories. Also, count your calorie intake everyday and see how much vitamins you should be taking depending on your weight, I'd give you the formula but i can remember it at this moment:confused: , anyways, sprint if you can everyday in the morning before you eat anything, thatll trigger your body to dip into its fat reserves and use it as energy

I thought that's what the GUIDES are for. There really should be no difference in how newbies and experienced guys lift. The only difference I figure will be the poundages.

"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.

Ok, but my problem is I am not sure which I want to do. I am worried that if I bulk up right now, i'll get too "fat" at the same time..

Oh and another thing, I wanted to ask you guys if you recommended that I take Creatine muscle cell volumizers from Ergogen Labs. There are 6 grams of creatine per pill. Thanks

I'd be skeptical of creatine in pill form. I have never gotten any type of results from creatine. Personally, I think it is mostly hype and placebo effect. Just eat right and lift as heavy as you can go. Then keep at it 3-4 times a week for the next 3 years. You'll get there. Sounds like you need to cut before you bulk but your first cycle it doesn't much matter how you start. You are going to gain mass and lose body fat at the same time either way. It takes a couple months to hit the wall.
 

"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.

then don't bulk. You can't put on muscle mass with out putting on a little fat at the same time. Hey here's an idea. You CUT UP after you're done bulking.
