Whats YOUR motivation for lifting?
"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.
Why do YOU lift?

"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.

So many reasons and they all add to my quality of life.
The main reason I started was for a focus in life and to stop feeling like a skinny guy who couldn't hold his ground. EXAMPLE: I witnessed a good friend of mine get beaten bad a few years back by 2 guys and there was just nothing I could do. Nothing. I was too weak.... I wouldn't of standed a cat in hells chance. All I could do was shout 'leave it out guys!' (to which one of them approached me with a clenched fist.. and all I could do was step back like a B****) and wait until another member of the public (a very old frail man actually) came in to call it off. That's the kind of stuff that got to me. Not feeling like I could stand up in many situations.
The interest from girls, the fact other guys think twice about trying to knock you or belittle you (especially in front of chicks) and the fact I feel f****** great for it all is all a massive bonus.

I checked all of them:
I used to be the small frail kid that always got picked on. Since I've started lifting, everyone seems to be my friend and I get a lot more respect (I lift to fend off the bullies). Lifting raises my confidence (I lift to be a badass mofo) which helps with the girls (I lift for the Girls).
I was never good at team sports, so weightlifting offers me something where I can be competative against myself (I lift for a sport). Plus, directly due to weightlifting, I've been eating a lot healthier and am in great shape (I lift to stay healthy).

Thats what I like to see. The more reasons you have, the more you'll strive.
“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.

To be honest, it progressed. At first I was fed up of being the skinny guy that girls thought was "small", now I'm big and they all want to touch my arms, and I was voted "body of the school". Then it just grew, trying to beat my PB's and just enjoyment of the gym, networking with the big guys, a few bouncers, getting in the clubs free.....all came from lifting.

One reason I will only reveal to the folks on this board:
To impress the people who always knew me as the skinny, nerdy guy.

Not really to be healthy - you can easily get injured lifting and it's not really that healthy for ya either. We would all be doing yoga and eating raw food if we wanted to be healthy.
To impress the girls? Naw, rather to NOT dispel any girls because of my looks
Lift for sport? You have to once you lift for awhile, it is in your head. But this is the effect not the cause.
Fend of the bullies? I am 180 right now and dudes still talk sh1t. There is always going to be someone bigger, I don't know, may be when I'm 220 it will stop
Last one is funny, but I don't think most guys will magically be 6"5 270.
I lift because I look in the mirror and say "Damn, I love myself" and it makes my day better.

You can get easily injured doing yoga as well. Lifting is healthy, whether you think so or not lol.Oxide said:
Lift for a sport. I didn't mean because lifting has become a sport to you, I meant such as adding strength for sports such as football or increasing your speed for track or something.Oxide said:
I coulda put that on there too. Option #6 "I lift because I find myself attractive' lol:rockon:Oxide said:
Keep liftin bro
Awesome logic. guess what, you are gay, whether you think so or not, lol!
Tell this to the guy with scars in his lower back from the surgery because he pushed himself on the squats. Or many guys who fukked up their rotator cuffs from military presses. It is not all about the form too. There are many things that just accidentaly fukk up and you can be changed for life.

There are freak injuries in just about everything you do. Lifting IS healthy. Improves your muscular fitness, strength, ability to handle every day tasks. Increases bone strength, which decreases the risk of breaks. Many lifts also improve flexibility and joint strenght/mobility.
As for me being gay, thats just a no-no. Exit only please lol.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

to be healthy and to look good.
lifting is only unhealthy/dangerous if you are doing too much or using improper form. I know that if I don't eat good and workout; I feel like ****. If I do workout and eat proper, I feel great.

"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.
