"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.

One of the biggest parts of being a Don is self improvement, and over the past four months I have let myself go in this category. I have been focusing on school, not getting enough sleep, not doing laundry enough, not working out, smoking, masturbating, and drinking.

My plan is to completely turn that around, starting with my schedule. I want to update it so that I use my time more wisely and use my time for my studies better, get enough sleep, and budget my time wisely enough to accomplish all of my goals.

One big big portion of my self improvement that I want to fix is my physique, at the moment I am 5'9" and roughly 145 lbs. I have always been naturally athletic and used to be a runner and took weightlifting during high school. My senior year my bench press max for 1 rep was 200 lbs near the end of the year. However because of the fact that I have fallen into several bad habits lately my body is somewhat behind and it is going to take a little while to get it caught back up. So I am giving myself 1 month to get rid of the old habits and begin getting my awesome body.
My goals for lifting are first 1 month of cutting weight so that I can get more cut, I would say I am probably around 15% body fat at this time. Then I plan on coming up with a 3000 calorie diet with 150+ grams of protein a day and lifting Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next semester.
One of my problems with this is my limited finances, I'm a college student so I don't have enough money for an expensive protein diet. I will pretty much be limited to Peanut Butter, Eggs (Boiled, fried, or scrambled) , Tuna (sometimes), Milk (Is Whole milk the best?), A decent whey protein for someone on a budget! (Need advice on this) Sweet potatoes, Oatmeal, Venison (Lean red meat?), Greek Yogurt (sometimes), Salmon (sometimes), and sometimes cottage cheese.

Then for the other categories I want to completely catch up on my school work! Getting a degree is a big F****** deal for what I want to do as my career choice so I need to buckle down. I need to study more and use the time I have to study more wisely.

I want to stop smoking weed as often because of the fact that it lowers testerone and distracts from my studies (at times it also helps however) Also I want to start saving a little bit of money from my work and I know that if I kill the weed habit I can save a good bit more money for other things.
 

"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.

I don't get the point of no masturbating. It's healthy.
 

"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.

No ejaculation after 7 days=plummeting testosterone levels...if the body thinks it doesn't need to produce something because its not being used, it simply won't, and will reallocate its resources to something else...

Hey I dont know if anyone will bother reading this but I dont really care this is for my own personal gain!

I haven't kept this updated because I don't really have the time but here are some updates.

I have completely quit smoking cigarettes! I haven't smoked one in a month and I am very happy about that!

I wasn't able to quit fapping, I think the longest I have gone in the past three months without jerking it was 6 days.

I am currently focusing on getting into the army so rather than lifting with the purpose of beefing up I will probably be focusing more on cardio and muscular endurance in the next few months since that will help me a lot more than just being jacked will.

I went to the gym today with a buddy and worked out for the first time since I graduated high school (6 months ago)

The gym didn't have as many free weights as I was expecting and was mostly machines.

I did squats, normal bench press, curls, leg curls, pull ups, and a little bit of ab work. My hamstrings are really sore but other than that I don't feel like I accomplished much.

I have recently signed up for a new gym in town that is really cheap, it was only a $1 entry fee and it is $10 monthly.
I have been lifting Mon, Weds, and Thurs. And running 2-3 times a week (2-4 miles)
 

"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.

I have done a pretty crappy job keeping this updated, probably because my visits to this site are fewer and fewer.

I haven't been working out very much lately and I have ceased eating right and I can definitely tell the effects on my body. After never going above 155 lbs (5'9") in high school I stepped on the scale last night and was at 168 lbs! Needless to say its time to start working out again. I am planning on joining a new 24 hour gym here in town that is all free weights. I will update my log/journal once I start on that aspect of my progression.

I'm trying to get my system clean of THC because I'm going to have meps in the

next few weeks so that I can join the army reserves (I want to go to college but

I can't afford it without a ton of loans) So I have been drinking water and

running like crazy. I went and lifted on tues, ran close to 5 miles weds, did a lot

of ab work and push ups Thursday, and ran close to 6 miles today.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Takes 6-10 weeks to remove all THC from the system bro - since its stored in your bodyfat. Lots of cardio, and lift lighter weights with plenty of reps. you want to burn off the bodyfat also go for a healthy - azs diet.

good luck

Ran three miles today, wasn't that great of a run though because it was close to 90 degrees.
