"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Okay mate, I've got a thigh injury at the moment so my cardio's restricted to the old-fashioned morning power-walk/jog.

The weather's still sweltering over here, so I'll using my gym and the treadmill on an incline with a slow pace, 30-45 minute sessions, and of course, my secret weapon, peaches from the garden. Big fat juicy ones.

I'll stick to one peach pre-cardio and a pro/carb breakfast 30+ mins or so afterwards and let you know how the fruit theory goes. The usual variables (intensity, length, post-workout nutrition) are all in place as far as I've discovered for my body, the only change is the pre-cardio food.

I'm interested to see what'll happen, and I'll surely let you know.

Cheers for the tip mate, hopefully we can put the skeptics to rest. (or in the worst case, discover that fruity cardio doesn't work after all)
 

"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.

i tried the fruity cardio this morning.

Definitely an energy spike... leaves me hungrier for that pro/carb meal after the walk. I was more intense throughout the walk, but found the energy to like die completely at around 25-30 minutes. (I had an orange this morning pre-walk).

Anyway... you got two guinea pigs ;)

Nice one guys

I'd be interested to hear your feedback - I found it worked for me, but it'd be nice to hear others say it too.

Go easy on that quad, Warboss, rest it up lots cos I imagine you'd go crazy and get locked up if you injured it more and couldn't squat ever again lol.

Exactly, that was in July. This is September now, Manuva's suggested something which I'd like to verify for myself. If so then yeah, I'll change my opinion and that thread will be null and void, everyone's entitled to change their mind about things like this.

Don't be so obtuse mate, there's a good fellow.
 

"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.
