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.

"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.

Poll is largely meaningless, since it depends on definition.

A better one would have been to have weight incremements, e.g

130 - 139 pounds
140 - 149 pounds
150 - 159 pounds

etc

At 5'8" and about 185 pounds, I am according to the body mass index classified as overweight.

What this doesn't take into account is that I am up from 155 pounds purely from my weight routine.

So while I am classifieid as "overweight" (relative to all the wimps with no muscle out there), I'd regard myself as "normal" and still on the way up.

And I think there would be a lot of people out there in a similar situation as me.

Overweight? Underweight?

How about this: I'm fat. That's what 5 years of academic and career success will do.

But...by the end of the year I will not be fat. And within 3 years I will be in the best shape of my life. Doing it in 3 years will be hard to pull off as it took me 6 years the first time. But this time I can control my diet and workout much better.

@runner83: I thought about that when starting the thread, but then decided to keep it simple.

Since (e.g.) a cyclist's normal weight is different from (e.g.) a heavy-lifter's, one should vote in accordance with his workout routine & use common sense.

And by that I mean that mostly every man can judge if he needs to bulk up or lose some & vote accordingly.
 

"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.

errr I'm gonna say normal. But for more detail, I'm 5 ft 7, and in the last 4 months have gone from 64kg to 70kg. I'm aiming for 75kg before I start losing weight for the summer so I can hit the beach :)

Did a body fat test a few months back and it said I was 20%. Today I did one (on an apparently better machine) and it said 13.9%. No doubt I'm somewhere in between, but I want to get bigger first before I start trying to cut down.

5'8" 175 lbs.

Got a little fat around the mid-section. I really have no goal other than to get my body back to the way it used to be when I worked out consistently 5 years ago...also, I just want to make going to the gym a habit for the rest of my life instead of quitting all the time.

Gotta have a weight range. Some people are taller and some people's frames just take weight better.

5'8" - 193 at around 12% bf as tested a couple of days ago. I'm borderline obese as per BMI... but I can still wear most of size 32 jeans assuming there's enough ass and quad room. Maybe just maybe BMI is a load of shiite.

Weight to me doesnt' mean a whole lot by itself, unless you're combining it with body composition numbers, etc.
 

"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.

I was once 135, but I have been hitting the gym for almost 10 years now. I go four times a week.

Sitting on 198lbs, at roughly 17% bodyfat.

I would consider myself overweight (perhaps overfat is a better word) right now.

In recent years I have been as low as 150lbs and as high as 205lbs, at varying bodyfat percentage though never over 20%.

At my peak fitness level, I was 170lbs and 10% bf.

6'3" 223, 15% bf or so.

Since I want to be one of the big dogs and get up to 260+ I'd consider myself underweight lol.
