"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.

How does alcohol effect strength and muscle gains when you drink on a daily bases in moderation?

I like my couple glasses of red wine and I may at times have 3 or 4 daily to the effect of a minor buzz. I believe the alcohol content of the red wine I drink is somewhere around 12% to 15%.

Whats the debate on this will I become weak and dry up if I continue on this path?

I do make sure I get my bodyweight protein though any experiences anyone have?

"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.

It doesn't affect it much. I've been sober for a bout a month and used to work out extremely hung over, and the amount of weight I'm lifting sober is not much more, but I do have a lot more energy for cardio and such.

I have read research that says red wine is great for heart health and helps to relax blood vessels and all and it seems to me this would be an added benefit to the diet as well.

Actually I have found since hittin' the wine I have more energy to workout but at this early stage it could be all in my head as I have just started drinking on a daily bases for about a month.

Thanks GettinLuckyAintLuck

Anyone else have experience with alcohol use while lifting?

Back when I was training for a fight in mma I had some experiances with alcohol. Even if I just had A beer it felt like my muscles were a little weaker when I sparred or I was a little slower for ducking that punch. Now hungover I was ****!

Plus your getting all those unnecessary calories that are useless. When I was training every calorie counted in keeping my weight. Every calorie needed to be building muscle or energy no simple carbs allowed haha.


Just what I went through.

You gotta do what feels right with your body. Everyone is wired differently

P.s. We did a study in health class there are plenty of things that are great for your heart with no disadvantages. Red wine does have some benefits but it has downsides as well. you could drink a smoothie which is great for you in so many ways haha....

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I hit my record on flat bench with 3 beers in me. When alch in in your system for short term is gives you a strength boost. But long term it lowers hormone levels, which is very bad. Personally I said stick to it in moderation and get your water in throughout the day. Good Luck
