"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.

What do you fellas recommend. Can't get too much, gets expensive. I'm gonna get a pull/chin up bar with dip handles. I can do pushups anywhere. Maybe a few dumbbells? I'm not sure about the weight.

I may get some of those rubber bands or something. Any ideas?

buy an indoor pool and put a squat rack on the bottom of it, youll probably need some scuba equipment too. less strain on the knees.

otherwise go buy a gym membership, it will cost you the same amount of money for a 2 year membership then what you will spend on a worthwhile home gym that you''ll get anything out of. I learned this the hard way unfortunately.

perhaps you could start small and buy equipment one piece at a time as you can afford it.
i would start with something that i would use the most, in case i never had the money to invest into everything i ever wanted.
