"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.

Cheers,

"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.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

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...

:D
 

"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.

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%?
 

"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.

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.
