"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.

breath heavy and extend your chest ******ds when performing taxing exercises like squats and deadlifts, this will widen your ribcage.

also your lats, and pec/deltoid tie in will grow in time.

Yep, love-handles will definitely make you look wider.... Never heard anyone refer to them as muscles before though... :p
 

"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.

Squats and deadlifts will help develop your midsection (including your lower back) This gives the 'power look' as opposed to a bodybuilder who aim to keep a relatively small waist.

Heavy barbell side bends and heavy barbell twists will seriously develop the obliques.

I dont think you really want to thicken your waist much. Heavy squats and deads will do that enough for you. Get your shoulders and lats to go wide.

Nice wide shoulders and a thin waist look great.

As far as rib-cage expansion I think that the idea of noticably expanding ones ribcage is pretty much considered unrealistic

No, you do not want to thicken your waist. You should be trying for a narrow waist and broad shoulders, a v shape.

I've got love handles on the sides, and I hate em. The only thing that partially makes up for them is that I've got very wide shoulders, which helps mitigate the wide waist.
