"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It depends on the kind of body you are looking for. Some people dig the cut look, which you would get at around 150 lbs and low bodyfat (around 8-9%). Other people prefer the stocky look, which could take you to around 180 lbs.

It's all up to personal preference. Personally, I'm shooting for 165 lbs and 8% bodyfat, but that's just me.

There are some generell "ideal" standards which weight you will look good @:

Weight: 180 lbs 10% BF @ 5'8

Which give you roughly:

Arms: 15.5"
Chest: 43"
Waist: 32"
Thighs: 23"

These are far from correct though. Your genetic potential will determine how fast your muscles will grow and the proportion you get.

If I were you I'd shoot for 155 with low bf. Twenty lbs increments are great for judging your progress.

10 lbs can be a weekly phase because of water weight and maybe you're switching from cutting to bulking, etc. 20 lbs implies progress.

Then, when you reach 155 you can decide to cut more bf or keep gaining.
 

"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.

Being 'skinny' doesn't make you at 4.1% bodyfat.

At that measurement, you would be absolutely shredded. However, it's possible. I'd be extremely jealous if thats the case.
