"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"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.

Know that alcohol slowers your muscles ability to recover.
So better plan drinking somewhere between few rest days.
Otherwise, your exercising is going crap. If you drink a day or few days after gym, your recovering isn't gonna be good, you'll lose some muscle mass or if not lose, at least not getting any.
So remember while drinking that alcohol causes dehydration!
Drink a LOT of water before drinking while drinking and after drinking. Eat pasta and bread, they absorb some alcohol and prevent hangover. Generally, eat much and drink water even more. The next day drink water a lot and eat a lot. That helps you recover from temporal dehydration and prevent recovering slipping away from your hands. Recovering is REALLY important when bodybuilding!
Drink some soft drinks that don't contain much alcohol and try to keep on those clean alcohols. Simple alcohols have less toxins. Keep away from vines, whiskys, cognacs, tequila etc. that has complex structure and lot of toxins.
So drink drinks with little amount of alcohol in them, and those that are based to some simple alcohol, like vodka or other "clear" spirits.
A good trick is also drink water between your drinks to keep yourself hydrated.
Also, set yourself a limit. You don't want to puke your brains out and spend the next couple of days to recover your body from that torture!

Or rather ... which alcohol is the least bad?
Here ya go, just in my own opinion anecdotally:
1. First rule: only drink top shelf (read: usually expensive) alcohol if you are drinking hard liquor.
A lot of what many people think is a hangover is really the toxins from lousy grade booze. For example, you will feel much better if you drink a 15 year old single malt scotch than if you drink some lousy scotch. You'll feel much better if you drink Grey Goose vodka versus some eastern block garbage.
2. Generally, stick with the "purer" alcohols ... ie. vodka is the least offensive. Tequila and gin, for example, are both fairly "dirty" alcohols, meaning that they are composed of a variety of additional plant extracts, etc.
3. Don't mix your drinks ... many times it's the mixers that have been sitting behind the bar collecting dust for months or have sugar galore in them.
Ie. Drink a scotch either "neat" (ie without ice) or with ice or with water.
Or, drink a vodka with tonic (not with some mixer).
4. If you are drinking beer, the low calorie and low carb beers probably aren't that bad health-wise.
5. Red wine has been shown to have health benefits. A glass of that ain't so bad.
6. Most importantly ... whatever you are drinking, be sure to sneak some glasses of water between drinks to dilute the alcohol and to ensure that you piss out a lot of it, and stay hydrated. Try to drink a glass of water for every glass of booze.
Just getting tipsy by drinking like a 6pack (tipsy is not drunk btw ;-)) on friday and saturday has hardly affected my results...alcohol does harm your results, but if you only train to get a muscular body and dont see yourself as a bodybuilder who wants to get as big muscles as they can youll do fine if you just cut back on the alcohol. (no disrespect to bodybuilders though)
Oh and btw people who say beer gets ppl fat and hard liquor like vodka dont know what they are talkin about. Compare the calories of 0,5 liters of vodka and 4 liters of beer. Its almost exclusively the pure alcohol in the drink that gives u all those calories.

vodka still 2/3 less calories

However if you drink light beer then it's 1120 calories.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
if you mix things, mix them with diet pop so you're not having extra bad calories. drink a protein shake mixed in water and take a multivitamin before hand and you'll be fine.
yeah, you can sit in your room by yourself on the weekend or go out and be the weird guy that just stands there sober while everybody else has fun.
but listen, you're posting this at sosuave, so you're probably working out with looks in mind, not to be a pro bodybuilder or for sports or anything.
will it slow your gains? sure. will you put on fat at a slight faster rate than usual? of course. But, you sure aren't gonna notice the difference in your gains. it's not like you'll be like "oh man, I could lift this much heavier if I didn't drink last weekend" and as a drinker I can tell you, that the amount of fat I put on from the beer, whiskey, and other **** I drink is very little. barely even exists. granted that might be because I have a decent metabolism, but I know a lot of guys that drink on the weekends and still look pretty cut. Just don't drink everyday. have fun on the weekends. you might want to throw in a cardio session every once in a while if you feel like you're putting on too much beer fat. And never, EVER drink when you're cutting.
You'll be fine. Live while you can. Remember, there's no difference between a nerd who stays in every friday night to play Halo or a guy that stays home every friday to make sure he gets the most out of his gains. Both aren't out living and it's a god damn shame both ways. Especially if you're just lifting for looks.

Good stuff.
"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.
Now you add a liter of orange juice to your vodka like most ppl who i was talkin about do and you have another 450 cals and both figures are pretty much the same, right?
oh and you meant vodka still has 1/4 less calories i guess?

You can have the purest, highest filtered and premier priced beer, but if you drink enough of it you will stall your gains, feel like sh1t and if you keep on doing it, turn into the shape of 70% of the lardy arsed world's population.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
"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.
