"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.

Post up pics/vids of some of your current favorite bodybuilders. Natural NPC competitors, assisted IFBB Pro's doesn't matter. Right now my favorites are Phil Heath, Kai Greene, Evan Centopani and Victor Martinez. Cool down to earth guys and just some dedicated mofos.

I'm really liking this video/documentary on Kai Greene. Holy **** :crazy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_X4b0N1KsQ&feature=player_embedded

lol at Kai Greene and his deep thoughts about training.
 

"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.

Yep,Nick Auger ftw.

Today's bodybuilders are gorillas in my opinion. They weight almost +50% more then people did in the 60 and 70s. I'd say only about 5% of today bodybuilders can even do a vacuum pose.

Bodybuilding started to 'die' in 82',or whenever Frank Zane last won his title.

I read an interview with Sergio,the Mr Olympia pre Arnold. He was asked if he would do it all over again today if he could according to today's terms,he said no. That's the biggest slap in the face the sport could have.:moon:

I like Phil Heath. I also like Cutler.

Dexter, Branch, Ronnie, and and Kai are too otherworldly looking. Phil Heath has that nice classical look with good lines and modest conditioning. I dont like the uber-shredded look, or the knotty mass-monster look.

IMO the best BBing physiques of all time are, in no particular order:

Kevin Levrone
Flex Wheeler
Sergio Oliva
 

"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.

FYI to the above dudes....Nick Auger used lighting,oil and who knows what else to his advantage in those pics.

Here are some more modest pics of him

None the less the dudes knows how to build proportionally. Knowing how to be built symmetrically is all that matter from what I've seen. Being 'big' doesn't mean anything when your shirtless.

and damnit blinkwatt :crazy: ....I've already heard your opinion on this ****, I don't need to hear it again in my thread over and over. Like Colossus mentioned there's still some who have that classic look/lines but you just have to look better for them.
 

"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.
