"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

LOL!.

The Spartan System is a Health Training Regime.
 

"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.

Do you mean the origonal training they did? Like eating a soup from a bull's blood, being in the army from the age of 7 and wearing super simple clothes?

No, I didn't try that

Edit: I changed the to they in the first sentence

Sparta was a Greek city state not a person, maybe your confusing it with non-Spartan Spartacus. But I didn't join the army at age 7 either.

Sure thing, Ice. I thought you typed wrong. I don't think anyone here does that (the army thing @ age 7) either.

However, WALDEN read this:

"About 2 in every 100 Americans are in a Spartan training camp where every day they lift weights, eat what they are given, do what they are told, and are forbidden most outside contact. In this atmosphere, the utmost importance is placed on combative prowess since all creative energies can only be directed towards bettering their martial discipline. Within this camp, there are high rates of violence and some Spartan trainees get killed. The people continually work out to maintain a combat physique which will give them respect and the capacity to defend themselves from their enemies while their weaker enemies learn to harness topical weapons in order to compete against their brute force foes."
Mike Walden, if you wan't to join this Spartan training camp, just fly to the United States, kill someone, and before you know it they'll put you in a prison... ehh, Spartan camp.

It's comedians week on Sosuave...

"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.

A friend of mine took the spartan health regime, he quite liked it. It seems to focus on nutrition and compound weight exercises, i.e squats, pullups and chinups, shoulder press etc.

I am extremely sceptical

First of all, he makes some outrageous claims like this:

Following the dietary principles will let you lose fat fast and easily without going hungry or losing muscle size.
Maybe if he drugs you up, you won't feel hunger


Then, when you lose 25 kilos in a month (as most of his clients did), you'll lose about 10 kilos of muscle. When you have a really small bf, your immune systen is weakened significantly. You're more succeptible to colds and esp tuberculosis.

I don't particularly want that.

To be super ripped is just as bad for your health as to be obese.

In my opinion, the perfect body is one that's flexible, cardio conditioned and has good amount of muscle. Cover that with a finger-thick layer of fat and you're perfect :)

But that's just me, and I could be wrong...

Ice, when you say 'super ripped,' how low of a BF% do you have in mind? Are we talkin something extreme, along the lines of 5%, or something more common in the world of amateur bodybuilding, such as 8-9%?
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

They didn't give exact body fat % because they didn't measure it. Basically the study just noted that visibly chunky people had 10 times less chances to get TB

I think they took the layer of fat on the stomach as the control variable.

But it makes sence, right? If you have some fat deposits, you can replace cell membranes much more easily in case an infection occurs.

BTW: my mantoy confirms it. I was quite skinny during childhood and it was always positive. Now I gained some weight, tested last month and it's so totally negative, there's not a single spot :)

Actually I agree. Too much (obese) or too little (skinny) is bad.
