"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 sex affect athletic performance?

"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.

Sweet. I wish they studied someone who believed it did effect their performance.

haha! Yeah, I heard (didn't confirm it) that Eli had his fiance sit out in the cold during the championship game instead of in the paid-for box because he was superstitious. She supposedly did it too. "Hey b****, i want your a$$ out in the cold come Sunday!" :p
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Legend has it that one of the sprinters that "Chariots of Fire" was based on always jerked off before he would race. I read in a men's magazine a while back that a male orgasm has 5 times the relaxing effect as valium so maybe it would help in a sport where being relaxed is important. But the best quote I've heard on this topic, and I forget the source, was as follows. "It's not the sex that hurts the players. It's staying out all night looking for it!" :)

worrying about crap like this releases cortisol and that affects performance.

Not sure what is behind it. I have always had a high sex drive and still at my age but if I stay horny my lifts are better than if I had sex or had a freaking wet dream. Of coarse this is weightlifting or powerlifting but everyone is different but there is just something motivating when I am squatting, benching or doing Deads and I find myself with a stiff hardon it seems to add strength to my lifts and this never happens if I have had sex or the wet dream.

I agree Flyer. I deleted it and replaced it with a something more proper. Sorry if it offended you or anyone else on here and thanks for pointing it out.
