It seems that we have an influx of women, I'm guessing from LS (I think I saw this mentioned in a thread somewhere). No offense to these women, I'm sure they're all lovely people, but I came to sosuave to better myself through advice from men who have had similar experiences. I don't want...

During a conversation with my gf yesterday, she mentioned that she thought I was better than her: smarter, funnier, better looking, etc. She also said I settled. I could tell she was serious because she got a little sad looking and her voice quavered. I'm always trying to project my...

I have a friend, a girl, who recently flaked on me. We had plans to do something over the holidays - the day came and went, I gave her a call that day and texted the next, and never heard from her. The backstory: we've been friends for about 3 years. We started as friends, went through a very...

One of my new year's resolutions is to get life insurance this year. Part of the testing is a measurement of your BMI. I'm currently 180 pounds at 5'9 and about 11% body fat. However, that puts me in the overweight category. So much for the benefits of lifting and good health! To get my...

Here's a somewhat frivolous question for a Friday afternoon...would you let a girl drive your car if she asked? I just got a nice-ish car - pretty and fast - and this friend/sometime hook-up of mine asked if she could drive it. On the one hand, it would be pretty hot to see her drive. On the...

Thou shall not text, IM, e-mail frequently unless you want to be friend zoned. Call to set up a date and keep it short. Mantras of the SoSuave community. And not bad advice in my experience. However, SO many women do the IM/text game. And so many women want to do it all day long...

I've been lifting for about 3 years and have finally come to the realization that I've been doing it all wrong, like most of the guys I see in the gym. Lots of isolation exercises, with little concentration on compounds. I've been converted (thanks in part to some stuff I've found here - I'm...

Quick question(s) on pull ups (palms facing you) vs. chin ups (palms facing away). Which is harder/more beneficial for back dev? What different muscles are targeted by each?

I'm loathe to post a question about my own personal life because I realize that conversations about specific situations don't always help everyone on the board...however, I'm stuck and I need some advice. Perhaps there will be some universal truths in your feedback that will help others...

I've been hitting the gym pretty hard recently. I'm by NO means too big at this point (5'10, 180, 10-11%) but I'm definitely getting bigger with good definition. GF sees me with my shirt off and says, "I don't like it, you look like an action figure." Of course I'm doing it for myself and...

I love reading field reports...I think they're some of the most helpful things on this board. So I want to contribute one of my own. Here's an approach that worked for me yesterday at lunch: I see a girl in my local supermarket checking out one of the cases filled with sodas and drinks. She's...

My road to self improvement has been going so well. I've been becoming a better man, not just with women but in all aspects of my life. HOWEVER, I made a total chump AFC move with a girl today. She's gone for good, I can feel it. I'm totally frustrated right now. I'm curious to see what...

Need a quick opinion/advice on this situation: My FB and I started developing feelings for each other; I was OK letting them grow but she pulled back. Fine, I've got other things on my plate, so it was disappointing but not devastating. So I pulled back a little, cut off our daily chatting...

Yeah, unfortunately not those kind of 'roids. I'm talking about hemorrhoids here. Anytime I do squats or even leg presses, it happens. I've had a trainer show me proper form, but to no avail. Anyone have a similar problem and have any tips? Sorry for the graphic post, but this is really...

I wanted to share a little anecdote about the power of social proof. I'm sure many of you have similar stories, but I was amazed at how well this worked and I wasn't even trying. I have a friend at work who I jokingly refer to as my "work-wife." She's cute, blonde, young, and a lot of fun...

Looking for some tips and advice for maintaining my cool in the face of wild attraction. I've been seeing a girl for a little while now - we started off as friends and evolved into something more. We have great dates, great sex, genuine fun - we click. We also both see other people. I...
