an 18 year old 6'2" male?
"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.
What is the ideal weight for...

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

How do I find out my body fat percentage?
Francisco d'Anconia

Start out here to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI). It doesn't calculate body fat but lets face it, who can't look in a mirror and tell that they have too much fat on themself?

I am not fat.
"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.

Your similar to me: 6'1'' male. I also want to know this, since I weigh at any given time between 125-130lbs. I know, unbelivable right? Nope. Ive weighed myself on 3 different digital scales and one non digital and it all comes up the same..
Worst part is, when I ask my doctor for help, she says I should'nt worry about it and I'll be thankful when im older! pfft! She says my metabolism must be really active, but doesn't think its necessary to do blood work to find if maybe I have an "overactive thyroid" which means an unusually high metabolism basically.
Notice that! Its a chick saying this, she doesnt know how it feels... I eat so much, including alot of fast food, but can't seem to gain weight. I desperatly want to gain weight as I look like a "tooth pick"
I guess I will go back to the docs and insist on some blood work and maybe a weight gain regimin such as WHEY and hopefully come up with the time and a workout partner to start working out...by the way, what would the results be like if I were to take WHEY without working out?

I know what a pain in the ass it is if you are skinny and don't know what to do to gain weight, 90% of the people will tell you don't worry about it or youll be glad when you are older. And most women think that weight is the only thing that matters althought its possible to be skinny and fat at the same time. If you haven't worked out before, one of the best parts of it is that it naturally increases your appetite. I know, I went from 117 to 145 in about 10 months.

BMI sucks and isn't accurate. FOr a good reading. Go look something up on the web. I use this thing in the Zone book. You take your wasit measure subracted from your wrist then you ollk it up on a chart. BMI just to inaccurate. Theres plenty of better ones.

Jimbo,
I think we're about the same. I weigh 61 or 62 kg (136 lbs?) myself, but I have clothes that make me look a little bigger. Well, when I look in the mirror while wearing those clothes, my shoulders look more broad. I eat like a freaking PIG, and I don't gain anything. But I don't lose anything either. It's incredibly weird.
I am not a total tooth pick though, my muscles are visible, but they are quite small.

"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.

Wow...
I'm about the same height and 195 lbs and I look pretty skinny.

I don't really know. They're just normal clothes. I have a long-sleeved sweater and when I pull the sleeves about halfway up, I look much more bigger. That was only one example, I have more clothes like that, but the point is that you should wear them in a way that your shoulders look broader, and your stomach tighter. It probably has to do with optical illusions and such. It's hard to explain, you should try it out.

Cue: puking noise here
BMI = moronic. My BMI (29.7) is around TWICE as much as my actual bodyfat percentage.
