"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.
Your max bench press.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I'm not going to say what else is wrong instead I think you should remake the poll using these options.0-49
50-99
100-149
150-199
200-249
250-299
300-349
350-399
400-449
450-500
BTW I'm taking Stats now and I couldn't resist making the chart
"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.

Stats sucks...good luck with that. I can throw up 250 and i weigh 190. I had hand surgery 7 months ago...one day my hand will probably snap.Maxtro said:Sorry bro but this is a bad poll. First of all you shouldn't make the names public. For the record I can't bench 450+ but I'm not going to seem like a wuss for picking anything lower

And EFFORT, niceeeeee.
My best bench so far is a poultry 192.5lbs. Not tested in two months though so hopefully I'm over the 200 by now. Shall see in 4 weeks or so.
I'd like to see some video's people
Many are guilty of not using a full range of motion...I'd also much rather this was a deadlift poll
"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.

playa99 said:lol i dont i can only deadlift 150lbs 1RM lol but my bench 1RM is 205lbs and my squat 1RM is 264lbs,so yeah need to work on deadlift a lot
Let me guess, you used to do bench only and you squat to parallel?
Either that or your just proportioned that way. Btw if you squat to parallel, don't. Just incase you do...going all the way down is where it is at.

Hmm.. is squatting to parallel wrong? (so far I've been going to parallel or slightly below)

i can bench what 72kg? (at least i think the bar was 20kg - that's what someone told me) and 14-15 year olds are benching 160lb+ , damn i'm behind.
my squat and deadlifts are also appalling, lol no wonder my gains were small.

:crackup: really????.....now tell me something. Do you bring the bar to your chest and don't bounce the bar? Can you do it without a spotter upright rowing 50% of it?? How much do you weigh? how long have you trained? What do you eat? I BET your so full of crap. Stop posting, we don't need little kids around here with no knowledge dogging people who work hard. I hope your mom gives you a spanking. :box: :box: :box: :box:FiNs2BeCaUgHt said:
BTW I've always done incline. My max on that for 1 rep is about 200 lbs. I don't know what that translates into for regular bench but must be pretty good.
EFFORT........HOLY FREAKIN CRAP MAN. ughhhh haha

Master Don Juan
Also FiNs2BeCaUgHt: Idk where you got that 190+ stuff from. Theres a chart at my schools weight room. Its based on Light, Medium, and Heavy Weight people. That 190 pounds your talking about is for 230+ pound freshmen. People over 6'1 should reduce lift requirements by 25% I think, maybe less.
"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.
