"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
25% bf to 15% bf?

"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.

perfect diet? no such thingDJDoomage said: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.
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...
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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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.
