"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Anyone is using ashwaganda here?

"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.

I've tried it in the 3 most bioavailable forms, KSM66, Sensoril, and Shoden. I can't say I noticed a major impact, even in high doses, but it does seem to reduce stress and calm, though if you take it in large amounts for an extended period it can cause some decreased motivation (we need healthy amounts of stress to be motivated). The main reason to take it is to reduce cortisol as there are clinical trials showing a notable decrease. This may also indirectly raise Test. I do think it's probably a bit overhyped, but i'm sure it affects everyone differently.

I take it as a part of my supplement regimen every morning. Can't hurt. I feel great overall, but I can't narrow it down to one particular thing that I'm doing.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Tongkat ali is the next on the list.
First week on Tongkat 10% I felt euphoric and incredibly pumped for workouts, and libido jumped asap. It tapered back quite a bit and I still notice the effects in my stack, but more subtle. They say it takes 12 weeks to really see the full benefits of it. I'm on week 10

I take ashwaganda and melatonin gummies before bed sometimes. I wake up groggy though.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an Ayurvedic herb. It is also known as Indian ginseng (although it is not strictly a member of the ginseng family). It is traditionally used as an adrenal and nervous system tonic, an adaptogen, and an immune modulator. In Ayurveda, it is classified as a Rasayana (rejuvenation) herb, which can promote physical and mental health, rejuvenate the body in debilitated conditions and increase longevity. It grows in India and Africa.

Current research has implicated Ashwagandha in treating various conditions, including anxiety, sexual dysfunction, neurologically degenerative conditions (Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), autoimmune diseases, arthritis and healthy cell growth.

I take Korean ginseng in the morning and ashwagandah in the evening. I feel more focused and calm generally. I’ll essentially cycle on and off for a few weeks. Make sure the dosage is right for you. Make sure the product is. Quality.

What dose do you take for the ginseng? and did you notice any effect on libido? I hear that's why a lot of guys try it
 

"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.

Throw your money out the window .
Nah. Lot's of supplements, and supplement companies, are BS, but there are a handful of maybe 1-2 dozen that have real proven benefits.

I'm giving it a try and would like to hear first hand experiences.
I've been using it for several years.. As for whether you should depends on what you want from it. I use it to reduce the feelings of stress. I typically use it in the evening. In the morning and daytime I use Rhodiola. I don't use either all the time. If you were using ashwagandha for increasing testosterone and libido primarily, I would tell you there are too many better alternatives. Ashwagandha's mechanism for increasing those are more about the indirect effect of increased "T" and libido from the reduction of cortisol and better sleep. After doing your research and getting some reviews and opinions and you think it will give you some benefit, give it a try and finish the bottle. Short of doing a before and after blood test, you should be able to detect a noticeable difference in stress, and or sleep, and T and libido related activities. If you can't detect a difference, then it's not worth your time and money. Basically if it's not a "hell yah," then it's a no for me.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
