"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.

"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.

You counteract old age by living right and clean (no drugs, smoking, excessive drinking, working out).

What you're after is estrogenic effects. Problem is, a man can't gobble down estrogen without losing his masculinity. You have to keep estrogens in balance with androgens. That's why it's better to take the precursor molecule: DHEA.

DHEA is a cheap, easy-to-find, over-the-counter supplement. If you're going to try out hormones, that's a much safer route. You sure never hear of people keeling over and dying from using it.
 

"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.

In my research, I ran into some stuff about DHEA and elevated risks of cancer. Remember nothing's risk free.

You've probably seen the cenegenics ad that has the old dude with the body of a young guy. From what I understand, it's a combination of testosterone, HGH, diet, and weightlifting.

From what I've read recently, testosterone replacement and HGH are worth looking into. However, I personally want to find out more about them before pulling the trigger.

Another way to look at it is if youre getting older and really losing your edge, why not? Then it's just a question of at what age? I just turned 55 and havent felt the need yet to do it, but i work pretty hard to keep what I've got...

17β-estradiol is the sex hormone most responsible for cellular growth. That's why cancer patients are sometimes prescribed antiestrogenics. DHEA decomposes into the other androgens, which (except for libido-causing DHT) decompose into the estrogens. Supplementing with extra DHEA increases your body's levels of both androgens and estrogens. So taking DHEA when you have cancer is likely to speed the growth of tumors.

However, saying "DHEA causes cancer" is like saying "water causes cancer." It's ridiculous on its face.

DHEA is usually taken in low amounts -- about equal to what a young adult normally produces in the adrenal glands. That way, the body doesn't overreact to an excess by shutting down testicular production (which it does when you take the god-awful overdoses of testosterone that are so popular).

You're the only one talking about causing cancer. I choose my words carefully, there's enough flying off the deep end as is.

What's a normal amount of produced in the body?
 

"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.

What about old age are you wanting to counter? Looks, mood, sexual performance, energy?

250 to 500 times less than serum DHEA-S levels. A pretty small amount.

Normal blood levels of DHEA-sulfate can differ by sex and age.

Typical normal ranges for females are:
•Ages 18 - 19: 145 - 395 ug/dL
•Ages 20 - 29: 65 - 380 ug/dL
•Ages 30 - 39: 45 - 270 ug/dL
•Ages 40 - 49: 32 - 240 ug/dL
•Ages 50 - 59: 26 - 200 ug/dL
•Ages 60 - 69: 13 - 130 ug/dL
•Ages 69 and older: 17 - 90 ug/dL

Typical normal ranges for males are:
•Ages 18 - 19: 108 - 441 ug/dL
•Ages 20 - 29: 280 - 640 ug/dL
•Ages 30 - 39: 120 - 520 ug/dL
•Ages 40 - 49: 95 - 530 ug/dL
•Ages 50 - 59: 70 - 310 ug/dL
•Ages 60 - 69: 42 - 290 ug/dL
•Ages 69 and older: 28 - 175 ug/dL
Source. Please use the search box for DHEA. It's likely effective for making old people's skin smoother and for reducing age spots.

As with all the other steroids, DHEA has many functions in the body. DHEA is present in some brain structures at one-seventh that of DHEA-S. Here's a link to a 1998 study that concluded DHEA helps protect the brain against toxins.

Hormones seems to be lesser of the problems since you have hormone therapies available these days for old farts like us. What knocked me down to the floor in despair yesterday is that it research shows older men have a higher chance of fathering babies with genetic defects
https://www.google.com/search?q=old...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Now immediately some of you will jump up and provide examples of healthy children born to older fathers, but these are statistics taken from a large population so we can't refute it using only examples we have seen in person.
Let us save the semen in the semen bank now itself and then go fvucking around till 80.
