"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

do you prefer sit ups or cruches?

"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.

Happy birthday, Brian.

They're different exercises, I do them with different variations so can't compare.
Nothing like a few huyndred situps, though.

I don't really like either. The "super-crunch" is ok, where you start from the upright crunch motion, flex, and gradually go down slow as possible.

Martial arts classes I've been in have you yell your count while you go up during regular crunches, which helps to hit the abs harder.

I prefer sitsup, but only if I do these things:

Don't go to high when doing situps. You'll know you're too high when you stop feeling the tension in your abs. Also, keep your back straight. To do this, try to make your shoulder touch the floor first when you come down, your lower back should touch last if its gonna touch at all.

I do a mixture of scrunches (legs down, legs up for lower abs, then cross overs), and also those exercises where you bend your knees, push them out a bit, and then sit up so that your finger tips touch your knees.

To get definition you really need to burn off that tummy fat. I'm not there yet.

Not many, it's all about bodyfat.

The thing is most of the guys here probably rely on other more compound weight lifts to work their abs. Squats work a lot including legs & abs. Dips work a LOT of your upper body + abs. Pull ups, Pull up curls. You just have to use your abs during other lifts its where a lot of your power & stability comes from anyway.
