"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 work out several times a week, and am steadily losing body fat but was wondering if there is any special activity to help, other than eating healthy of course.
 

"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.

interval cardio, 1:30 minute steady pace, 30 second sprint, 1:30 minute steady pace, 30 second sprint. Start at 20 minutes and work your way up. Do this 4-5 times a week in the morning. It keeps your metabolism running high the entire day. You'll notice you'll sweat slightly bit more through out the day, it's because of your body's increased metabolic rate.

Carb cycle. Cut out white carbs get all your simple carbs from fruits. Eat complex carbs instead in moderation. Eat a healthy amount of complex carbs for 3-4 days then completely cut carbs out for 1 day. Continue this cycle through out the week. Eat 5-7 small meals a day, high protein, high good fats, try to eat your complex carbs in the morning and directly post work out. The point is to never stabilize always keep the body guessing and in a constant state out of equilibrium. The human body was programmed to go into starvation mode at the slightest sign of starvation, if you starve yourself your body will lower your metabolism.

Great advice, HIT training is amazing. I workout with a group of 3/4 people and we always do indian runs. Its so much easier to push yourself when you see others doing it along side of u.
 

"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.

I was wondering something....can you do HIT while on a bike? I go to the gym Mon,Wed,Fri and before I work out I stretch and have progressed from 10mins to 16 mins on the bike, I go 45 seconds regular speed and the last 15 seconds I sprint pedal.

Does this do the same thing or am I just looking like an idiot?

Running is supposed to work your entire body (more or less). Interval training with running is utterly intense. If I'm not mistaken, if you trained to sprint, you will produce a sprinter's body. If you do marathon type running you'll get a marathon runner's body (whatever that is -- I really can't tell)

I am trying to lose body fat as well. I'd like to trim 5-10 lbs without losing muscle mass. Cutting red meat, increasing vegetable intake, and eating healthier while working out isn't producing the results I want. I may take up interval training (running / eliptical) and see if I can keep it up this time.

Or cut like 250-500 calories/day under maintenance. This is even easier as no work is involved (well other then some math). :D

This type of thinking is the same as "I don't want to work out too much or I'll look like the hulk." Interval training will not make you look like a skinny marathon runner. It will take weeks of solid conditioning and dedication to see results. Once you start to shed body fat lower the intensity and amount of your interval training to get the desired results. Follow my carb cycling diet that I laid out above with the interval training and get back to me in a few weeks. Carb cycling will retain your muscle mass, interval training will burn excess calories. Shoot for 40% carbs / 40% Protein / 20% GOOD mono/polyunsaturated fats.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

This is true but the body will eventually plateau and pick up on the deficit and correct your metabolism accordingly.

Why would cutting out red meat help you lose bodyfat?
