"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.

Hey guys, what are some exercises to tone up the sides of your body (love handle area, and sides of your ribs)?
 

"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.

You can work these muscle groups with sidebridges, drawbridges and such. These are the musles that connect to your hips and the lower part of your abs. Sidebends are hard to describe, so follow the link later on. Drawbridges are laying down flat on a bench or floor and litfing your legs from prone to straight up (hence the name of the excercise). Add weight once it becomes easy.

HOWEVER

Working these muscles will not get them to show unless you have a low bodyfat %. So if you are doing bulking, don't try to get 6 pack abs to peek through, just do these exercises anyway, so that when you start cutting, the muscles will be toned.

As for the sides of your ribs, do lat pulldowns, seated rows, bent over rows, and most any back exercise.

There are none. Lose the fat, it works wonders.

They are called the obliques buddy. They contract with the abs. Deadlifts and squats hit them quite well. There's no need to do all these crunch variations.
 

"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.

Do me a favor and stop giving advice about bodybuilding. Where the fukk do you come up with this ****?

If by the sides of your ribs you mean obliques then they are worked during abdominal exercises. You aren't exactly directly hitting the abs when you are rowing.

you're referring to the serratus and they are worked by chinups.

They might be indirectly involved with chinups, like forearms, but a much better exercise for the serratus is the often ignored pullover.

The ribs are surrounded by the seratus anterior muscles. Pull overs work this area, as well as pecs and lats to a lessor extent.

The obliques can be hit through side bends.

Changing up your rountine every once in a while is good.

Indeed, these 'love handles' that you guys seem to be referring to are actually the 'obliques'.

Info on Obliques

Mainly Side Bends \ Side Crunches \ Crunch Twists work the obliques well, and target them mainly.

Check out this url for oblique exercises:

Good luck!

“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.
