"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.

I will go back and read the whole thread but things have changed alot now so it may be nothing you have done. Things are just bad now.

they can always get better but we are living in very strange times. Its getting harder to find anyone who can maintain a normal conversation anymore
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

only strategy that I saw working in the last maybe 2 years is being sexual + building rapport enough so she feels ok sleeping with you

too much rapport before sex and very likely things will go south

You can put a wig, most women will not make the difference
Not sure Sosuave does well with the good looking ladies, the assumptions on Sosuave are high.

Maybe Sosuave does well with single mothers and fat women.

Rock on!

That's true.

It's been some days since that post. I think it was about aesthetic reasons. Creatine does exactly what it advertises, including on the head/face.
Only if you take excess amounts that don't get incorporated. Which is why you should be taking 2-3g a day and not 5 and definitely not ever loading which is unnecessary.

And if 2-3g a day still cause problems that is more of a problem with your workout routine than creatine because it means you are fooling yourself into thinking you are working hard when you aren't.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I dont know man. This sounds a bit like a cope.

Why would the human body differentiate between body parts? How come there are typically two types of people in the gym?

1) very lean and got a strong jawline
2) not-so-lean and bloated face

It seems odd to me that the tolerance is kind of low for so many people above 20-25. That's why I'm blaming high-salt and creatine, which have become seemingly obligatory for serious gym goers worldwide. It makes people look "buff" for better or worse.

The exception to this rule are very young people. They are just winging it even if they go hard at the gym. They often get very sharp facial features out of this.

Some will say genetics. Some will say its age. I say it's partly because of the lack of supplements. That's why it works as far as aesthetics go. But again, it depends on the priorities someone has. Nothing wrong with using creatine.

A lot of people don't realize how much gaining weight effects your face. With a shirt on people can't tell, but your face will look considerably worse with high body fat (and you'll be giving off bitchy vibes from the higher estrogen too).
Unless you're very skinny - cutting down body fat percentage is the best thing men can do asap to radically improve their physical appearance. As noted, this will make you much more attractive in the face (clothes will also fit better) and is very feasible with some discipline.

In my experience: diet is at least 70-80% of the equation and the rest is just staying active.

i think what happens is too much conversation and comfort building now doesn’t work as well in this short attention span era so that may explain your experience as well

No it's basic physiology. Creatine helps to transport energy out of the mitochondria to replace ATP and shuttle it to the muscle fibers where it's actually used.

Working out depletes creatine and the amount is directly correlated to the intensity and duration of the workout as more ATP is required to be shuttled which uses more creatine to do so.

This would be like asking why more gas is used when you rev your engine faster or drive farther. It's common sense why.

The issue is that people take more creatine than they need because your body only incorporates enough to top off creatine stores inside the cells and then the excess sits outside the cells and pulls water where it causes bloating. Similar to if you decided to just keep pumping gas when your tank was full and it just spilled all over the ground or around the fuel tank on the vehicle.

Your response tells me you don't understand basic principles of physiology or workout science. Creatine is one of the most widely studied supplements and it's benefits are very well known. There is a small population that it doesn't seem to work well for whatever reason, but for the vast majority of people the benefits are real and the side effects are directly related to supplying more than the muscles can incorporate.
