"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.

Does a person's weight fluctuate during the day or is my scale broken?

This morning I weighed myself and I was sitting at 180 lbs. That's pretty fuct cause last night I weighed myself and I was sitting at 184 lbs. Do I actually burn 4 lbs during the night, or should I throw that damn scale in the trash?
 

"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.

Fvck me a 4lb turd. Bet it took ages to flush.
LOL! I couldn't help thinking the same thing when i wrote this post. Can't help but wonder if 5hit, piss and any food intake make that happen. Perhaps it was last night's BJ. I'm surprised she didn't choke.

well in summer you lose that at night thegouh sweat. If its not hot i do not think you will lose that much, but you may do, especialy as you are heavier then me so 4lb is a small % of your weight.

When cycling for example, on a long ride with out drinking enough, in the summer, i have lost 5lb or so because of sweating, even thou i drank 2 liters of water and ate a sandwhich and 2 bannana, maybe even more!
 

"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.

Check mate, did you see that thing on telly last night about the 50 year old doing the RAAM?

They put him on a turbo trainer in a climate simulator and he was losing like 2 litres an hour.

When cycling you tend not to notice it because of the wind eveaporating it.

I've noticed lots of things effect weight. Carbs combine with water in the muscles, salty foods take up water, when bulking you can have a fair old weight in your guts.

yeah you can loose so much fluid through sweating, even in winter you can.

i was doing an hour of interval training on my bike over a distance of 17km offroad and even in this cool temperture i was sweating so much you could actuly see vapour rising from my shoulders like the vapour you see when you breath out when its cold because it condenses, well i had vapour ocmming up from my shoulders.

incase you where wondering, no i dont compete, but yes i am training to do so, thats why i do 45km-90km each sunday (soon to be 90km always) skill training on saturday on heavy offraod to get used to riding more techniql terain then i ussalt ride, and 4 days a week of interval training (each session is aobut 1 hour and i do 17-22km)

so yeah im pretty serious with it

Good luck with that. I used to be a competitive triathlete, spent a lot of time in the saddle, no road racer though, as you know tri's are p1ss poor, although nowadays they allow drafting so handling skills have probably improved. Brave down hills though:p

I thought that thing last night was a bit unfair on that old guy, I said to this girl friend I was watching it with, there was no way he was going to improve that much in 2 months. He could sing though:D

Level of hydration...

Why do a 1 hour interval? how about 2x20m w/ 2 minute recovery between each effort at your Functional Threshold? Much easier mentally...

Before I started lifting, I would play a lot of Dance Dance Revolution. Once I played for like six hours or so nonstop and ended up losing like eight pounds. For the only time in my life I actually had muscle failure in my legs, cause I practically collapsed at the end.
 

"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.

haha no i dont do 1 hour intervals, the whole point of interval training is to go at speeds you can not keep up for long, I did 1 hour of interval training, intervals ranging from about 3-8 minutes at high speeds often sprinting.
