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

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

How do I find out my body fat percentage?
Francisco d'Anconia
Master Don Juan
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.
"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.

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.

"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.

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.
