Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.

This is probably really obvious but you need to ease off food. Cut your calories gradually. Then gradually eat more. Then once your eating more you eat many small meals to keep the matabolism up and the fat burning. That entire process should take at least 3 months.

Also I dont think that 5 lbs a week is healthy. Your body was starved and now will take as much out of everything and turn it into fat because it thinks food might be scarce.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Less than 1700 calories a day for a male, and the body goes into starvation mode. And there is no point going by what the scales say.

Why does this thread feel as if it should be in a women's forum?

IDIOT!!!! Have you heard of YO-YO dieting? Go read something. You know nothing of nutrition or even common sense.

Get some knowledge and come back. Nothing in life is fare!!!

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I've been slowly losing weight the past two years. I started off extremely obese(330) and now I'm down to 265 but I still have a ways to go before I'll be at a good weight for my height/frame(I figure around 190 or so, put on some muscle too). It will probably be another year and a half to two years before I finally get to my goal..

But I just have to at least try anyway. I can't just sit on my ass for two years because I'm not in the physical shape I could be in. Plus if I start learning to build confidence NOW while I'm still fat it will be even easier to be confident once I get normal.

You are doing a Yo-Yo diet. Look it up. It won't work and in some cases after the diet ends and you resume "normal", you gain it all back and then some.

Eat propely, lose weight slowly. If you overdo it, you will end up fat again.

Sorry bout the harshness earlier, but you have to realize the ignorance of many posters here. It is mind numbing, and you're not helping.

If you ate only 1000 calories a day and lost 15 pounds, you probobly lost muscle mass. The body doesn't really like to burn fat. Add starvation mode and the body burns muscle proteins instead of fat since muscle is protein and a source of energy. Now, given that you lost musclemass, you now need less calories to maintain a bodyweight. In other words, your metabolism slowed down. This is why a 200 lbs guy needs to eat more than a 130 lbs guy to maintain his weight.

So, your body is in starvationmode by now. When you go from eating 1000 calories a day to eating high calories without gradually upping the dayly calorie intake (300-500 a week), the body responds by spiking insuline and stores the calories in the fat celles. Also if you ate alot of carbs, they draw water and glucose into your muscles, wich also weighs a bit. A fair amount of that weight you lost might be waterweight. But still, if you lose more than 2 lbs a week no matter what diet you're on, most of it is muscle. Unless youre morbidly obece ofcource.
