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.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Not an excuse for crappy eating. My diet during this bulk cycle has been very strict and I've stuck to it. However, I was a former fat kid and after losing 65 lbs recently I'm not looking to fall back into the hole. I've put on about 10lbs of muscle in the past 3 months so I'm at a 6"1 and 175lbs. I seem to find that I have a lot more fat (surviving fat) on my back though abs are starting to show through and my arms are much more toned. Is backfat that hard to get rid of?Originally posted by Warboss Alex
Why the hell do you need an EC stack when trying to gain muscle?
It's just an excuse for crappy eating in my view. No need for it unless you're an advanced bodybuilder trying to cut down to a low bodyfat.

65lbs?!? Thats AWESOME mate, great effort! Did you post a journal about it I can read? If not, give some more details - I'd love to hear more about it.Originally posted by DirkPitt

I went from a staggering 230 to 165 without the use of ephedrine (just realized last week I could get it online, would've made it a lot easier). I never posted a journal because it was kinda fvcked up how I did it. I pretty much stayed on a 300-400 calorie diet for about 2 and a half months. Checked it out with a cardiologist who said it was fine. Probably should've checked it out with a psychiatrist too but this all happened back in April/May/June of this year and I'm fine now.Originally posted by manuva
