"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Wassup? I got a question regarding alcohol and weight lifting. Of course I did know alcohol had a negative side effect on your physique cause of its empty calories. In other words the more alcohol you drink the fatter you get, even if it doesnt mean you gonna get all fat or whateva. I thought it wasnt more detrimental than candy for example.

But I heared its very very bad if you wanna gain mass, not only because you might feel tired the next day if you were all drunk but also cause it lowers testosterone levels or something. Ive been gaining muscle for like 4 years or 5 ever since I started working out seriously and Im quite satisfied with the results, but I was wondering how much alcohol really affected muscle growth. Id say Ive always drunk like 1 to 2 times a week...earlier in life Id get pretty drunk and now I only drink like 4 beers if I go out. There were times when I drank a lot and whe nI hardly drank........I cant really tell how much it affected my muscle growth though cause I never even thought of that..I just cant remember...so can anyone tell me if its really that bad? Would it really play a role if I drank once or twice a week if I just get tipsy (around 4 beers, 6'3'' tall and not skinny)??How bad are the effects on muscle growth really?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Beer is my recovery drink of choice.

I'm sure it's not going to effect you that much. But, you are right, it has empty calories.

Just drink in moderation...

There's nothing like a beer after a work out.

Beer as a post workout drink, that's pretty funny. Alchohol increases your cortisol production and decreases testosterone production. The post workout time is one of the most critical phases for recovery, and if you want to maximize your gains then definitely don't drink alcohol within a few hours of a workout (optimally don't drink any, obviously).
 

"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.

you can be big, but often your alcoholic bodybuilders look soft, and their skin sucks. They always have a nice layer of fat around their pecs and tummy.

i'm sure that if someone was dedicated and determined enough to take up AS, and do all the necessary research, the thought of alcohol wouldn't even cross their mind.

Anabolic Steroids...?

A little slow today. I should of had only one beer for breakfast...
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
