I'm really timid when it comes to meeting women at sexually charged get-togethers like college parties, bars, etc. Obviously the best thing to do is go approach/talk to women at bars and parties. So I'm asking if you guys have any advice in doing that, other than just do it. When the...

Doesn't Starting Strength include pull ups now? Either way pull ups and dips are legit.

I have so much respect for Rippetoe. When I first wanted to start lifting, everything pointed me towards Rippetoe and Starting Strength. I think that was a blessing. Rippetoe is the man... SS instills this sense of confidence and drive in you that sets you up for whatever it is you ultimately...

I do agree 3 days a week is low, but it's what helps you maintain the constant progression. The program does that for a reason, even if that reason isn't immediately apparent. My ideal workout would be a Push/Pull done ABxABx but you can't lift that frequently and progress your newbie gains...

Isn't SS AxBxAxx / BxAxBxx? Also SS has 1x5 deads and 5x3 power cleans -- cleans are the alpha of lifts. If you go as heavy as you should on the deadlifts I don't think you can safely do 3x5 that often. If I really want to brutalize myself with deadlifts I'll do them heavy 100% (5RM) at 1x5...

That sounds like an awfully boring life to aspire to have.

Do you guys actually walk down the street and say to yourselves, "she's HBX, I need to go talk to her." I'm just wondering. If I see a girl and I want to talk to her I go talk to her, I don't really think too much about where she is 1-10 or where I am for that matter. I believe leagues exist...

I've read this article and let me say that moving fast with women really does work. In fact I read that article (and others) and tried it within that same week and found myself in way over my head. It actually blew my mind how responsive [some] women were to moving quickly. But I honestly think...

Let's say you meet a girl and when you ask for her number you get "I have a boyfriend." But you can tell she's attracted to you so you let that go and then get her number. There are things read between the lines, but to keep it short: How sexually do you want to flirt with a girl who has a...

It sounds like you're complaining. We all complain, it happens. The second reply is the best one in my opinion. The fourth one may be a good reply for a close friend when you truly need someone to talk to about your situation.

I always have women physically write their numbers down when I ask to get them. One reason is that it's impossible for me to mess up the number. A second reason is that it can be used as a small bonding experience. The third reason is that if something stupid happens I can rip it or burn it...

I agree with this. Sometimes I purposely put very little effort into the conversation just to see how she acts. As long as I am not bored with what she's talking about I will let her go on and on for as long as she needs to. In fact sometimes I'd say I let her do 80% of the talking. I'm not...

I think you're best off just asking her to get together instead of giving her attention. I meet a lot of girls with boyfriends and when I find them on Facebook and see their boyfriends I never get the impression that they are incapable of getting primal and totally satisfying the girl. I mean I...

I would say the best ways to gain confidence are to a.) ignore your ego, b.) try new things, c.) live with a purpose. Your ego keeps you from doing a lot of things. Have you ever taken LSD? You get into this place where nothing matters but the present moment; you are on drugs but you have your...

Teachers and parents respond best to maturity, growth, and personal responsibility, at least in my experience. If I were you, I would make sure my mother knew about my goals and ambitions outside of school, and I would explain why this particular school is essential to achieving those goals. I...

The weather is getting nice around here and the school I go to has a pretty small campus. In passing I am seeing a lot of women who I previously nexted during past semesters, girls who I may have gotten coffee with or went to the school's gallery with etc. Girls who I nexted because of...

Something that's been helping me with approaching women is knowing that the next conversation is always around the corner. Granted I go to an artsy college so there is no shortage of cute arts-and-crafts types (which I dig), but my point is that if you go talk to girl X and whatever happens...

I think so. In my experiences, some women handle rejection better than others... typically the better looking the girl, the worse she handles it. Recently I met a girl who seemed real interested, but convinced me she's playing games and I just walked away. Since then she has pretty much stamped...

As someone who is naturally pretty shy and decently good looking, I will say that before I took the strides to improve the number of dates I got, getting in shape really got me more attention from women. I did a body-weight routine for a couple of years and was probably 8-9% body fat and girls...

I am always hesitant about women with boyfriends or who are "seeing somebody." In the past even when they mention someone else, I will still do my thing and try to get something out of them. The last girl who I pushed forward with made out with me then went back to her boyfriend. They broke up...
