"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"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.

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.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.

"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.

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.
