"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.

What percentage of bodyfat do I need to look like this?

"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.

The thing you have to realise is that these guys are dry as **** when the photos are shot. Add in lighting, airbrushing etc and of course they're going to look good. You need to have a strict diet in order to stay at a certain % bodyfat.

I'm guessing about 6-8% as well.

The first is probably about an 8

The second is 6.

That's not bearing in mind the favours the lighting is doing them. I can stand under a light bulb and look 12 - I can go outside in natural light and look 7-8. It's all smoke and mirrors.
 

"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.

9-10 1st one
7-8 2nd one

The first is in extremely good light, airbrushed etc

Second one is pretty raw, but blurred, he's worth a 7% though.

Good luck man. It takes a lifestyle change but you can easily lose about 2-3 pounds a week in a healthy way if you stay super active.

The best weight loss I've experienced was through my muay thai and mma classes. I probably lost about 5-6 pounds this summer (I'm slender as it is, but it was all bodyfat... I think I hover around 7% right now). Taking up an activity like that is a great way to lose weight, because you don't realize you're losing weight. It's just a by-product of the activity.

Make sure you drink a lot of water...

Also, before big pool parties or beach weekends, cut down on your sodium intake for a few days. Sodium makes you retain water. You will be ripped.
