"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.

My friends have recently started to tell me I'm looking stockier and stockier everyday. They say that my muscles look really good but when I have my clothes on, I look like a "buff midget".
I mainly work out to look good, so it quite bothers me.

I'm not short (5'9, but I've had some people telling me I look more 5'7-8) nor really heavy (155 lbs, with a really small frame [my wrist is 6"]), so I don't know what may be the cause of my stockiness, but I actually look larger and shorter than most folks.


Any ideas?
 

"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.

I am, but I don't look such (blue eyes, fair skin, high cheekbones. People often mistake me for English, Austrian or, really often, French), probably because I have a vast heritage.

So, I have to choose between being skinny or being stocky?

Wait, so you would rather be short and like a twig instead of short and buff? Hmm....

Your "stockyness" is because you are short. It's in the genes.

And at 5'9 you are above the average height. Maybe its because you've been hanging around with tall people.

You say that I'm stocky because I'm short, but then you say that I'm above average height:)

Anyway, I'm not referring to that kind of stockiness, I know some 6'0+ guys who are muscular and look stocky, not necessarily short, but shorter than they are, because they are large, so it takes away their height. It's not a problem to them because they are already tall, but since I'm borderline short, I wouldn't want to look even shorter.

Well, who cares, I'll keep bulking and I'll beat the shìt out of everyone who dares to call me stocky:D
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

And what's so wrong about being stocky? You're built to powerlift, take advantage of it. Not everyone's got the symmetry/balance to be a pro bodybuilder (I know I don't) - do the absolute best with the hand you're dealt.

The fact is I workout mainly to look good and I don't really like the stocky appearance... I know lots of chicks dig it, but they're not the reason I workout for.

Do you think that a lower bodyfat would help? Right now, I can see my abs just on an empty stomach, otherwise I have a bit of gut (I tend to store all my fat in the waist area). What do you think?

If you can see your abs then your bodyfat is already too low for any further trimming down to drastically change the shape of you.

If it's your shape it's your shape man .. don't sweat it, do the best you can with what you've got and you'll be fine, I promise you.

Although by way of encouragement, wait 'til you've worked out a couple of years and got into your 'muscular' shape and then see what happens.. I changed shape drastically when I started putting muscle on.

Not everyone is a born herculean!

That's the problem, Alex, I've changed shape drastically since I started putting muscle on. I used to have a natural V-Tape, but since I started doing squats and bulking, my waist has grown a lot and now the V-Shape is gone. Do you think that something can be done to have it again?

I can see my abs just when I flex them and my stomach is empty, so I don't think my bodyfat is low enough yet. What do you think?
 

"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.
