"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.

46 years old here. Have salt and pepper on the sides of my head. I’m in great shape, look like I’m in my 30’s, hooked up with a 23year old this weekend. Lose that negative mindset my friend.
Man i got 2 questions for you -

What do you do to look like that ?

How do you hook up with women that young?

That stuff at 46 is some serious goals there man.
 

"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.

Absolutely loving the benefits of sotalix Resveratrol! I take it with my morning routine and find it pairs well with a healthy lifestyle. Alongside regular exercise and a balanced diet, Resveratrol seems to enhance its effects. It's become a staple for me in combating the signs of aging.

The whole anti-aging genre is quite interesting in itself.

My personal favorite is Peter Attia . I recommend his channel https://www.youtube.com/@PeterAttiaMD.

As I linked before I also like dr. Brand Stanfield, because he also comments on the skin aging:

Basically lifestyle that makes you live longer also keeps you looking younger longer.

I would steer clear from more esoteric strategies like heavvy protein restriction and calorie restriction ala David Sinclair, because in addition of making you look like shyt they will also make you weak and frail.

Of course it's really interesting to speculate how the longevity research itself affects the world in upcoming decades. In my opinion we are not too many decades away of being able to slow aging signifigantly and even partially reversing the process. That will be fascinating world to see.

A crappy hariline really is the death of youth for most men.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I found him interesting back in the day when he was Mr Keto ... but since then he's gone all over the map from frequent 3 and 7 days water fasts to one meal a day to currently basically force feeding protein (has to drink whey shakes to meet his quota). From reading his book I was surprised to find out the mental health issues he's gone through, and probably his focus on reaching 100yrs old is both a coping mechanism to distract himself from the present moment and a way to massively overcharge his rich patients. Because let's be real here, if you tell a guy that the best way to live a healthy life and increase the odds he'll reach old age is to 1. stick to eating natural, minimally processed food 2. don't graze, eat 2-3 meals/day preferably in a restricted time window and 3. lift weights a few times a week and make sure to do some low impact activity (walking, cycling, swimming etc) daily, you can't charge him +150k/year.

I started cursorily following him only year/two ago, so perhaps I missed most of the craziness :D

On the other hand It's awesome that person isn't dogmatic, but can think with his own brain and change his views.

Nowadays he has even stopped the fasting and seems to be more in the optimize your blood markers and maximize your strength, muscle mass and vo2max to have enough reserves of those to lose when you get older. Of course cancer screenings and such.

Kind of ties pretty well with maintaining your looks, when you get older. Pretty much only thing you need to add there is skincare routine :rofl:

All good advice here. Do everything you can to cut down on your body fat and increase muscle (naturally is best).

Jeff Bezos is actually a good model for this. Compare how he looked in 1998 to now. Yea he's gotten older, but more masculine/confident and in shape.
