Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

My friend wants me to get him a workout plan. I got him on Rippetoes but he thinks just because there is only 4-5 exercises that it wont get him results, he tried it for 3 days and quit, then went on his own and started over training himself, doing 6 separate exercises only for his chest.

He is 170lbs
6 feet tall and about 15-20% body fat.

He wants defined abs, a cut body and muscular at the same time. I told him he needs to lower his body fat.

What do you suggest for him?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Tell him to read the Vault.

And tell him that working out is a commitment. Not something you can do in couple of months and expect permanent results.

Hes not on this site, i was thinking of getting him on Stronglifts 5x5 but hes gonna be a little b1tch about it, he NEVER wants to raise the weights. He keeps arguing with me, telling me sh1t like "you can work your abs everyday, it says so in the mens health magazine" "it takes 2 weeks to see results" hes ignorant.

Tell him it will take years of toil to get a great physique. That should encourage him. ;)

"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.

Then screw him, when he sees how great you look, he'll be begging you for a plan.

A psychiatrist.
