"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.

Haven't posted in a while, just came back to get some tips etc.

I got the bodyweight training book 'Never Gymless' for xmas, and I think I'm going to switch around my routines to bodyweight training, looks good.

okay that was very off topic but what the hell..

1. My diet and training is for fat loss and muscle gain, the results have come slowly but surely.. I eat chicken, turkey, eggs, salmon, lots of veggies and fruits and try to drink alot of water.. I want to try ground beef, I haven't touched it before because I heard red meat stays inside you for aaages and increases chances of cancer etc. but then I've heard upsides of course. I just want to know if someone knows how to include red meat (thinking ground beef here..) in a diet that cuts fat and promotes muscle growth?

2. At school I can't eat that great, they put out ****ty lunches (white bread etc., low grade processed meats.. yuck) so I bring in two turkey sandwiches on wholegrain bread, is there a healthier alternative?

3. Any other tips for a teen who wants to lose fat and put on muscle?

thanks
 

"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.

The negative effects of red meat come mostly from the fat in it. If you are concerned about it, try to get the leanest cuts of meat that are available to you.

Have you cut out most refined carbs and sugar? Are you doing any cardio?

I barely if ever eat refined carbs or sugary sweet foods etc. I only cheat for like.. 1 meal on a saturday and then its back to being healthy.

I am doing cardio, I wear a rucksack filled with 20kg and do stepups with that in my workouts..

also

I just recently made a 25kg sandbag, does anyone else incorporate the use of a sandbag into their routines? and what exercises can they recommend?

thanks

ground beef won't kill you. you're right to avoid processed lunch meats. all the studies on "red meat" and cancer, etc. lump all that stuff together, so they're useless for telling you what's wrong with beef (hint: nothing).
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.
