"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.

Why join the gym if you can just do pushups

I currently do not belong to a gym (financial reasons) but have been doing alot of pushups called 21 downs (did these in wrestling practice in HS) You do 21 pushups and situps and then deduct by 3 until you get to Zero.

I have noticed a difference in my arms, chest and a little shoulders.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

basically because bw exercises will only get you so far, but if you're happy with the results then fair enough.. :) your progress is limited without resistance though.

Buy a book called "Never Gymless".
 

"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.

I was part of the confusion:)

I can do 200+ pushups in a row so his dumbass playing card workout was worthless to me.

btw... financial reasons?

Do I smell an excuse?

$5 a month is what I pay for my gym membership.

exactly. try throwing a couple hundred pounds on your back and doing a few squats... you'll be in a whole different world.

do what feels right to you. exercise is exercise.

if your doing pushups and situps and getting results, stick to it.

there are tons of athletes who dont use weights. hershal walker - the running back for the vikings years ago - never touched a weight, all his exercises were things like pullups, situps, pushups, etc.

and let me tell ya, that dude was big and ripped.

that said, the gym is a good habit to get in to.

No kidding? That is pretty cool about Mr. Walker.

Bonez: $5.00 a month? Where is it at the YMCA?
 

"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.

Giving examples of the genetically gifted is pointless.

this is the same guy who was posting in a thread titled 'i have a big nose' or something
 

"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.

key to muscle/strength is to constantly increase the resistance. Adding weight is the simplest resistance. For that reason barbell work best: they allow for small increments.

I did daily pushups for 3 years before started strength training. Gave me results. But nowhere the results lifting weights does.
