"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.

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?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
