"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I normally don't trust MSN for any of my news or articles simply because MSN either reports news that is incomplete/too late or because they post articles like the one above.

Just because your consult is someone who wrote a book and has MD after their name does not make them an expert. Don't get me started on the second consult they used: trainer and an author.

I think the author of the article missed the whole point of using weight machines: perfect form negates any and all possibilities of injuries associated with using machines. Sadly, majority of the audience reading this article does not care about form when it comes to weight lifting. I suspect that most of them just go to the gym for an hour for the sake of going to the gym for an hour.

What do you folks think of the article?
 

"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.

How about only p*ssies and ppl who don't know wtf they're doing use machines? The only "machine" that is acceptable is bench, squat rack and a sit up bench. Free weights are SOOOOO MUCH BETTER... you can't work you stabilizer muscles using the machines.

The article is pretty much right on. The leg extention, for example. That always annoyed my left knee but my knee gives me no problems on ANY other lift.

There's nothing wrong with some machines though. They just shouldn't be a huge part of it. Machines are actually getting better... like some of the hammer machines.

Stop the black and white thinking.

some machines are decent, i.e. lat pulldowns, calf raises, some Hammer Strength machines, but you're usually better off using free weights if your goals are size and/or strength. But some of that article is bull****
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"A better exercise: Body-weight squats. Focus on descending with control as far as you can without rounding your lower back. Aim for 15 to 20 for a set and increase sets as you develop strength."

Increase sets of 15-20? What kind of demon wrote this article!!!

Couple of fair points, however the above is plainly absurd.

Unless you are using the bar of course and enjoy being a twig.

EDIT-Whoa, my mind actually missed the body-weight part. Wonder what planet this person came from. Gravity must be 2-3x that of Earth. BW squats for the win!!!
