"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.

"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.

Do pushups with your arms far apart. This will widen your shoulders, gradually.

Having broad shoulders means having a wider frame and larger rib cage too guys, that's what he's talking about. Heavy barbench and dumbell pullovers should do the trick.
 

"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.

So are you suggesting that wide-grip excercises should also help (obviously those that target the shoulders) more so than medium grip?

LOL, pushups?

Seriously!

I do 4 exercises - but do not know how you call them in English...so I'll quickly describe them as best I can...

1. Standing up - pick up a barbell. Lift it up, over your head and lower it so that it rests behind your head. Now lift. Lower down. Repeat. 3 sets. (It's like the "pull down" - except that is for the back)... this is "pushed up".

2. Barbell with a better grip (you know the zig-zaggy handle lol, that's the best way I can describe it.) Standing up, lift it up as high as you can, preferably to the upper chest level. Keep a wide grip. As you lift, you have to move your elbows up in a kind of "V shape in order to lift the weight higher. Repeat - 3 sets.

3. Dumbells. standing up, with the dumbells in each hand, stretch your arms out (imagine Jesus on the cross). Lower your arms down by your side. Repeat. 3 sets. Be careful doing this. You need room. And good form.

4. To finish off, I use the machine that is like the pec dec, except the other way around...so you have to pull back. It's used as a back exercise, but is also good to finish up your shoulders to widen them a little.

Anyone know the names for these??

Also good form is required, ask your gym instructor for help executing the exercises.

Anyone who lifts and hasn't dropped the twenty bucks for the Arnie bible needs to do so immediately. You'll never ask what exercise to do for what as long as you live.
