"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.

Basically been training for a year now, but everytime I work on biceps I get a sharp pain down the outside of my forarms (outside being level with my little finger, not my thumb).

Anyone had this before and have suggestions to get around it, I can't find any exercises that can work that muscle that's causing me pain either.
 

"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.

i used to get this a lot when i did too much direct arm work, esp. preacher curls & curl machines (this was highly ineffective over the long haul). do you have this problem when doing pull ups, pull downs or rows? (all of which give your arms plenty of attention)

I suppose you are using a straight bar. Try an ez bar for barbell curls, it should solve the problem.

If it still hurts, try some wrist stretches (don't overdo it!).

If it still hurts, forget about the exercise: dumbbell work & heavy chin-ups/pull-ups/rows will grow you a solid pair of arms.

Good luck.

It's tendonitus I used to get it when i did weights. Theres different kinds of tendonitis but the kind I had sounds similar to what you have because i used to do loads of curls it was like a shooting pain down the outside of my forearm, it felt like it was the under side of the bone which I would feel still for days after exercising.

Just means you need some rest away from exercise.

If he feels pain even when not working out, it could be tendinitis.

If not, try the ez-bar for curls.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
