"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.

Hello, I am new to this site but I am very impressed with this messageboard as a whole. Maybe you can help me out.

I want to put on ten pounds of muscle.

this is my current body (not gay just trying to give you an idea):
I am 5'9 160 pds

http://www.hotornot.com/p/?select_pic=899166&state=photos&rand=2

Anyways currently I have a new workout plan and I want to know if this will work.

Monday-Wednesday-Friday
General Weights= Bench press, tricep ext, arm curls, overhead press, lat pull downs, pushups 3 by 10, minute abs X 2. Heavy weights low reps.

20 minute tempo runs. 2 minute steady jog 30 sec sprint.

Basketball for about 30-45 minutes.

Tuesday-Thursday
8 minute abs X 2, soccer for about 1 hour

Sat- rest

Sunday- 180 minutes of soccer (2 games)

Diet- Breakfest protein shake with ON whey protein, 1% milk

Lunch- Boneless skinless chicken breast X 2, yougurt, fruit cup, baked chips and salsa.

Dinner- Same as lunch, but a little less. Protein shake.

Will this work? Too much cardio? Any major flaws?
 

"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.

thanks for the advice.

I read those things suggested. However, I am getting around 400 grams of protein per day, which is nearly triple my body weight 160. I also drink a ton of water.

As far as soccer on Sunday, that is really the only low intensity work I will be doing.

Any other input?

Oh one more thing to add i will begin the loading phase of Muscletechs Celltech Hardcore (creatine). I will use this for about 10 days, then switch to creatine monohydrate.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.
