“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Hey yall,

I'm looking for some avid cyclists on here since Francisco don't show up as much anymore :-(

Anyone here do a lot of cycling?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I am. I haven't been able to ride much besides a few hours a week for exercise unfortunately.

This year was the year from hell on my bike...I popped like 10 tubes ad shredded both tires and had my first experience falling off the bike.

I popped 17 tubes this summer and shredded four tires :-(

Thats what 3,000 miles per year got me. I want to get better tires.

EDIT: What type of bike do you guys ride nowadays?

For the record, I popped 9 tubes this summer, completely wore out 2 sets of tyres. Even had a rear wheel that literally exploded (the rim snapped in half) - the 1.5hr walk home was not pleasant to say the least...

"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.

Me too!

Urban cycling FTW! :up:

1500 km in 3 months, 3 falls, 2 problematic tubes, a ton of adrenaline. :D

I'm on my bike for at least 2-3 hours a week as transportation. Sometimes longer if I take it out on to trails on weekends.

Probably get around 200km a month on it.

I don't cycle much, but I've done a couple of longish cycle tours. There's something grand about just riding into the unknown, not to be seen again for weeks.

Strap a tent to your bike and ride into the sunset. That's the cowboy life.
 

"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.

That's a sweet bike! And expensive, too!

How do you like it?
It's like the marketing says - rigid, pretty light, great handling...the aerodynamics are better than regular round tubing (around -10watts @20mph). The downside is it's aluminum so not as comfortable as carbon. Also it goes without saying that it's one sexy beast ;).

What does 'not as comfortable as carbon' mean? I.e. When do you start feeling fatigued?

After 50 miles? 100?
2 or 3 hours?

Gives me an erection. :)


do you race it?

Carbon damps small vibrations so it's easier on the joints. Personally I feel it in the elbows and back after 3-4h. Then again I've been doing a lot of XC last few months so maybe when I get back on the road bike again it will feel like silk...
 

"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.

I go through two sets of these tires a year (4000-4500 miles) and despite using extra-lite tubes, I average only one flat a season the five years of using this brand. I check and fill my tires before every ride.

I actually stick with the full wire bead, I still don't completely trust folding tires.

I'm a Specialized guy.
