"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

How long would it take to drop from 25% bf down to 15? My goal is much lower, under 10, and I want to set my expectations straight, so I know what to expect.

I have a perfect diet and exercise routine.
 

"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.

perfect diet? no such thing
perfect routine? no such thing

just thought I'd drop that in - how heavy are you? you can cut around 1lb a week normally but if you're at 25% I'd assume you're carrying a fair bit of weight, so you could drop 2 or 3 lb a week at first...

Im 243, two weeks ago 247ish. All the while body water remained the same!!!!


It looks like Im moving at 2 lbs/week or something close to that. All the while I work out and build muscle, so Im adding and loosing at the same time, but it turns out Im loosing more because muscles eat fat. I like the whole idea of it even while you asleep.

Yea, 3 lbs a week seems to be the max for healthy and sustained weight loss.

Im doing 30 minutes of cardio daily, I plan on increasing that to 1 hour, and then doing 45 minutes morning and evening.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You could go from 25%ish to 15%ish in 4-6 months IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PUT IN THE TIME AND DIETING. Just cut off carbs 5-7 hours prior to bed,do some form of cardio twice a week and you will be there in no time. The more fat you have,the easier it is to lose it. Good Luck!

at 25% body fat, it will take the average dude 18 months of consistent and clean work to be on the cover of MH magazine.

If you're looking to be fit and look healthy(not jacked/ripped), probably 12 months, give or take for genetics.

People say that you can do it in 5 - 6 months...Sure, why not...But if that doesn't end up happening, and at the end of 6 months you look in the mirror and wonder where all that time and effort went...its sometimes discouraging.

Do whatever you're doing as best you can and give it a year. By that time, if you've been consistent and done the right thing 90% of the time, you'll have the body you want.
