"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.

Interesting point was raised by a nutritionist in the gym, regards to me losing weight and sleeping.

Ive been drinking lots of caffeine for 20 years, I go through little bouts where i stop but it creeps back in.

he said if my REM sleep pattern is dodgy and caffeine is activating my stress gland , I categorically will get muffin tops and no matter what training i do, muscle will take ages to progress, and fat will not go around the hips. He said it also explains why everywhere else on my body, looks better Bodyfat %

interesting observation and its reinforced caffeine leaving my life, will update this post as i go on
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Yes, lack of sleep is one of the biggest stress events the body could ever have. If you routinely don't get enough sleep it will effect hormone levels negatively.

Comes to down diet and sleep brother

If our grandparents didn't eat it/have a lot of it, we probably don't need it. This eliminates 90% of the good tasting, but bad for your health, stuff

Lack of sleep definitely affects adrenal glands which in turn is how cortisol (stress hormone) is released. Cut the caffeine to morning coffee only and you may want to look into intermittent fasting. Works well to control calonie intake and honestly fasting is fantastic for the body.
 

"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.

Drink lots of water...when you are dehydrated the body tries to hold in water and you end up bloated. When you are properly hydrated the body releases water so you end up without all the water weight.
