"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.

"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.

Today was friggin awesome. Sure, I swore a few times, but this was nearly perfect in every other sense. Looking forward to my first complete day tomorrow on the 15th. :)

DAY 5: February 15, 2005

**FAILED**
- No masturbation/porn (Day 1). (some chick offered to flash me no joke. I couldn't resist. But alas I turned her down because my lunch is worth more than tits...plus the other guys would get a free show)
- No junk food at all for a month (exception = diet ginger ale). (parents got some lemonade...my weakness. At least it was light 50 cal 10 g sugar Lemonade)
- Follow Daily Workout Routine. (I got some adjustable dumbbells the other day. Now I can see some improvments. + protein shake = I am actually gaining now fat mass. RIght now I'm tryin to keep my muscle and cut. Then I will hard bulk)
--> Elliptical, 15 min. (HIIT)
--> Back, biceps
- Get at least six hours of sleep everyday.
- Do all homework first before turning on the computer. (yo bros. This is key. Once I turned on the comp it went downhill, but I all I had was some music and I was straight...blazed through my work like a fugga)
- No AIM chatting: Replace with phone calls. (Crap. I go on for a fuggin minute and chicks start IMing me. I knew I was a chick magnet, but DAMN! over the internet too!?)
- No forum/xanga browsing except to update this: Replace with reading a magazine or book.
- No video/computer games: Replace with guitar practice or workout.
- No swearing: Replace with a slow count to 10.

EDIT: aight it looks like I failed,but I am doing super good with school work and that is my main goal. Everything can go to hell for all I care, but I figured, hey why change 1 thing when you can change everythgin? I'm so happy about my non-procrastination anymore. It feels awesome and I can laugh at lazy punks who're stressin for tests the night before and I'm acing it with a good night's sleep cuz I studied over the weekend. I r t3h w1nnAR!!!

good luck AFK, just hang in there. I'm on day 3 of my own test. So far so good. I really exercised today. Did 2 miles of jogging, 45 minutes of elliptical, some weight training, and a set of 50 situps and 40 pushups. Is that a good start? No games, no masturbation. And I feel great!:)

I believe that when i fight sometimes i feel an extra edge that i think is peaking levels of testosterone. I can tell bc the feeling is very distinct to me from every other factor that might afect my boxing. In fact trainers make you not have sex or beat it off for at least a week before a formal fight.

Dude that is great! Hey you might want to check up in the Health and Fitness forum so they can help you with a routine and all, but great start and good luck to you too. :)
 

"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.

If I masturbate, have an orgasm (I think, after a year aniversary, I can't really feel an orgasm anymore), but prevent my **** from ejaculate, does it make the same as masturbating?

well my own day went ok today. I've ate pretty healthy today, and today was my exercise off day. I still did a little weights, and my usual set of situps and stuff, but overall today was relaxed. I'm sore all over...but I feel great, and I can already see the improvement coming! So, how did day 16 go, AFK?

--> Elliptical, 15 min. (HIIT)
--> Abs

Good question, dont know. The logical answer would be that since nothing is going out, then is like if you didnt beat off. But the orgasm happens in your brain, so i dont know what the brain would say about that, while still have the semen.
 

"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.

I have come to find that DDR is your friend. Yesterday I burned 667 calories playing in workout mode, and today I burned 726. I'm losing some noticeable weight now, and I feel better already. I look better, so improved points there. I encourage all of you if you have the money to get DDR and a nice $50 pad (one that will last you and doesn't slide around), and start with this game. It takes a while to learn, but it's fun (really) and burns fat like nobody's business. Also, my endurance is greatly increased thanks to it. Anybody else in this topic playing it for part or all of their workout?

How did you quit masturbating for that long, AFK? The longest I've ever quit masturbating was 5 days (which was from last Friday to Tuesday). Maybe it's the stress of school? Maybe it's because I'm emotional drained? I've always done well when I was active, but when I'm bored, "Tony" starts to become worked. I can't play video games either, because I don't know how to turn off NCAA 2005 vibrator. That vibrator has my **** wanting some bad.

They say you should replace it with something, what did you replace it with?

How did you do it? During the summer or something?

To think I admired you for going that long without masturbating......



Man, I could do some of those things easy.

GREEN = I can do easy
RED = I can't.



Now masturbation is hard. Doing homework is hard, but not enough sleep? Jeez. I go to sleep at the latest 12:00. Why do you put yourself through the misery? Your body needs it. Swearing? Guess what, it does nothing for you. You don't need it. Video games? I can see problems there.

I bet I can go longer than you without masturbating (and that's my only true weakness). I actually gurantee it.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
