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've read somewhere that for fat loss, the best time for doing the cardio activity is at the morning, before eating anything.

Does anything like this apply to lifting weights?
 

"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.

cortisol levels are the lowest in the evening, which means you can make the most out of your workouts then.

also, running on an empty stomach is a great way to lose muscle mass.

early to mid afternoon when your body temperature is at its highest.

I believe the Skinnguy program says that?

For me, working out works best after I had i good meal 30-40 minutes before. Don't lift with an empty stomach.

I've read that running on an empty stomach doesn't do any further noticable harm if you actually eat "enough" proteins throughout the day.
 

"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 don't know about cardio before eating anything, but I tried to lift once like this. I was going to my classes (which usually starts 8 a.m.) and went to the gym BEFORE them.

Dude, it sucked big time. I couldn't lift a pen! :down:

But what I read was about cardio, that's why I'm asking.

I usually do cardio at 10 a.m., and when I wake up (around 8 a.m.) I eat like there's no tomorrow. :)

I used to lift/cardio at the evening, like MindOverMatter said. But for time reasons I changed it to 10 a.m.

So I stick around with my thing? :)

I do cardio right when i wake up. Noting crazy, just sit on a bike and pedal away til my heart rate is up and then watch tv or something for about 45 min. From what I've learned (coming from skinnyguy.net) you will be just doing cardio on an empty stomach.

I guess you could say there are two conditions, thought. I still workout three times a week to counter act a low caloric diet and the cardio which might cause a small mass loss. I also don't do any HIT type stuff, its just riding a bike at the same speed for 45 min. so you shouldn't be tearing down any muscle which needs repair, causing further muscle loss.

You shouldn't EVER lift weights on an empty stomach, thought. That's muscle suicide. :)
