"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.

I've noticed that since my AFC days my reasons for working out at the gym have drastically changed. When you work out you should ask yourself what is motivating you? When you can't lift that last rep what goes through your head?

The answer you come up with will tell you if you are true DJ or not.

When i do that last impossible rep, I feel the weight of the world behind it and I visualize it as a symbol of the strugle that a man must constantly endure.
 

"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.

My principal reason, I think, is so I like myself even more. Not girls, looks are sh*t once you are looking for a LTR, or significant sex.
Then, to be healthy (including the anti-depression stuff that comes naturally as a result of testosterone boost).

Oh, and its not for myself to feel strong. Though thats the closest answer.
Ah, and by liking myself more, I enjoy being healthy, so... its just one answer.

well that is good. I can remember when i used to work out just to look good. I would get comments and second looks from girls all the time in college. But i can tell you that it didn't do jack **** for me. Working out to look good for girls is a false notion. When it fails to give you what you want you will find that you no longer have any motivation.

My motivation for working out now is solid it will never fail me no matter what happens in my life.

I think that any guy that works out to look good for girls is a ****en looser. I did that once and honesly you are sooo damn ***** whiped it isn't funny.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

You can tell why people go to the gym just by looking at the exercises they do...


-People concerned with strength and power will be doing squats and deadlifts

-Insecure people concerned with there looks will be doing curls and tricep extensions. These curl jockeys do these exercises so that they will feel big and strong... when in reality the people doing the squats and deadlifts are big and strong.

wheelin&dealin,

What philosophy class did you take? Your logic takes us to the following: If someone does curls and tricep extensions, then they are insecure. You can judge someones personality traits through analyzing their workout? BULLSHYT!

Also,
"These curl jockeys do these exercises so that they will feel big and strong..."

Do you really think you know someone elses motives through their exercise routine? Are you that ignorant?

"when in reality the people doing the squats and deadlifts are big and strong."

Again: If someone does squats and deadlifts, then they are big and strong. Are you for real?


Please, people (IMO high school students and you younger guys), lets try to give good advice and stop touting your OPINIONS as FACTS!

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

wheelin this makes no sense...

sure, there are lots of poseurs out there who solely do isolation exercises and then shyt in the pants when i tell them to squat.
BUT i cant see any correlation with a persons insecurity and his exercise regiment. perhaps the person doesnt know the benefits of compound exercises.
