"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.

I'm an old man now. I'm about to be 40

- You don't do obvious wrongs, especially if it's gonna affect another

- You obey traffic laws. You're putting more lives at risk than you know

- Always keep the upper hand in a relationship. You might have to be an @sshole, but always keep the upper hand.

- Have honor. There aren't many of us left, but old men can see it in you. I could size you up in a 2 minute conversation. Remember that.

Try to live an honest life. There's a reason most laws are in place. Some of them are gay, sure, but that's up to you to figure out when you you become a man.

Stay away from marijuana, as it will make you a lazy piece of sh1t.

Use booze as long as it can help you get women; it easily becomes a crutch and a habit. Only losers are addicts

Never become dependent on anything, if you can help it. I'm addicted to caffeine. Not proud of it.

Realize that you're a beast. In your own mind. That's all that matters. People might check you occasionally, step up or don't. Doesn't matter. Stay a beast in your own mind, always.

You should lift weights. Not for vanity, though that comes naturally. You should lift weights to be strong, and so nobody wants to fvck with you

You should become c0ck strong. That is, so confident in your beliefs that nobody in their right mind would question you

And I'm not talking about any lame sh1t like hiking or wakeboarding. That stuff is easy; any rube can do it.

Take a stand on something important. I don't expect you to become a great man overnight, but this is the beginning. No great man was ever wishy washy.

And with regards to women, always act like your sh1t doesn't stink. They act that way, naturally. You have to play off them, but always begin from a mindset of a prince

Preach, Junior, preach.
I'm lucky. I was raised by the red pill

Lucky? No. Cursed. Raised in an environment where you can never fully trust a woman.

At least your old ass got to imagine women as being perfect.

They weren't, obviously, but ignorance is bliss.

I'd take the blue pill in a heartbeat
 

"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.

You ain't old. I'm in the best shape of my life at 49. Take care of your body and you will get a lot of mileage out of it.

Don't and it will start going downhill rapidly.

The one thing that is definitely harder is to avoid injuries and random pains/pulls etc...

At this stage I workout to ensure I can continue working out the next day more than trying to push my body...did enough of that in my younger years that I have an extremely solid foundation built up.

My left bicep is strained

Not sure why. I don't do direct bicep work, only deads and chins

I've been laying off the chins

All that to say, getting old ain't for the faint of heart

You learn what your body is capable of.

I definitely had to learn, but it's changed as I hit my late 30s

I'll tell you one thing: I've never had a back injury

Older guys typically get them, but not if you're a weightlifter. Back too strong
