"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

3 sets each of curls and triceps is ridiculous. If you insist of doing that sort of isolation work, 1 set is ample.

Even better would be to stop wasting time with them and go heavier on your compound lifts.

Alex posting a whole different workout for you was a nice way of him saying throw what you have away, no making changes to it.

Seriously do yourself a favor man and just follow what alex posted for you, make a journal and post your progress up here and we'll help you make changes once you stall (which won't be for awhile) 2g of protein x your bodyweight, carbs should be up there too probably about 50g less than ur protein total but this all depends on how you handle them, good multi vitamin, a lot of water, throw in some creatine and sleep


Your ahead of so many people right now with that information you have no idea, i wish i knew this when i was 16 i would be so much further ahead now.
 

"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.
