I need big shoulders to compensate for my enormous head.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
What every skinny guy should know...

"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.

Great formula SOLID. I shall definitely write that one down.
The great thing is that all of those factors are within our control (with exception of height). So even for those who haven't been blessed with the prettiest facial features can improve their looks.

I'm about 6'2 165 lbs... just bought some weight gain beverage mix called Mammoth 2500, provides about 1250 calories per serving. Though most of it is carbs... 50 grams per serving is protein. With somethign like this i don't see how it can be so difficult for hardgainers to reach their caloric requirement for the day. Or do these things not work? This is my first time trying a supplement.

That kind of stuff works, Downrock, but only in conjunction with a good workout program. Otherwise, it will just get you fat.
"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.

Hard as it is to believe...
That's what has worked best for me, Fatality, without the injuries that used ot occur when I worked out more frequently (i.e., before the muscles had a chance to fully recover from the prior workout).
Not to be misinterpreted, I do work hard at it during the workout itself. The workout is quite intense, and varies a bit from workout to workout. I also do some aerobic and ab exercises to keep "cut." But still only lift once a week.
There was an interesting article in Muscle and Fitness about some Canadian bodybuilder who was stuck in a rut until he switched to a regimen that consists of about 8 exercises with 1 rep at about 70% of max weight, followed by the same exercises, 1 rep at max weight. He can curl almost 300 lb.

IMO i think that the looks of greek statues is the perfect look a man can get. They are made to look perfect and that look will never get old,for instance:

guys....i think i am getting good sized...but i think i still think im small. i think im not used to my new body yet, like Pook spoke about. I'm 6'1'' 180 pounds, abs visible, so its all muscle. But I still don't feel like im that big. I just feel like I'm not skinny. What do yall think? Is it all in my head, or do i need to keep going. BTW, my goal is 190 pounds and ill see how that feels. Also i was talkign to a girl who is a friend and we got talking about the gym and why we go. Well i said it makes me feel like a bad azz and that i want more weight because i feel skinny. She says im one of the most bad azz guys she knows, so i dont know, i think maybe the small guy syndrome is all in my head? anyone else feel like this too?
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.

5'7 and 130 lbs
Im gonna start hitting the gym soon enuff. I guess body mass to body language is like what body language is to speaking... if you have one, it compliments the other (subliminally mostly)

Jesus Christ... I knew you were big, Squirrels, but I never knew just how big until now.
Still, I think that I will cut down atleast a little bit... go for that Bruce Lee look. Bruce Lee was about 5'7-1/2" tall, and only weighed about 125lbs when he appeared in the film "Enter The Dragon".
I intend to do this by using Harry Wong's "Dynamic Strength" as my only system of strength training from now on. It is a system of self resistance exercises based on Kung Fu strength training.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Muscle plus posture
1 thing I must add is that when you get built, stand dead straight, perfect posture, shoulders back, head up. DO NOT STAND LIKE AN APE! If you do, yeah you may look a bit bigger but you will also look like a wannabe, I'm hard, my life revolves around picking up heavy stuff guy.
It's taken me months to get just good posture. Last night for example, the hottest girl in the club approached me! (I say shes the hottest as she is a 10, which I've never given out in my life). She won the competition far best ass that night She was on the podium and won money for it :|
Good posture gives you an ora of confidence. Add this to a bit of muscle, trendy cloths, nice hair etc, and you will appear like a guy that ALOT of girls think is TOO good for them.

Insulin is one of the key components to building muscle. As long as he takes his weight-gainer while he's in an anabolic state, he'll be fine.

I forgot to mention this Canadian fellow does the above full-body weight workout once every 2 weeks.

"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.
