"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I just hit the Gym and now I'm sitting down with a 6 pack. Is this going to ruin my hard work at the gym? I drank a protein shake before and after the gym and I stopped working out about an hour ago, and I just cracked a cold one.
 

"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.

It's bad, it will most likely ruin your hard work. Your body will only work on the alcohol while it's in your body. Alcohol is also a powerful aromatase inducer, causing your testosterone to be aromatized into estradiol.

Once a week? Not too good but if you're superclean the rest of the time, insignificant.
Every time? Then why are you working out.
Once every 6 months? Have more than a few.

Thanks. I poured out the beer when I read this yesterday.

what the damn, having a few beers after your workout won't waste the working. Have a protein shake before them then go back to normal after your few beers.

Yeah I know alcohol preferred as fuel when it's available but it's not gonna waste your workout :)

I'm not saying having a couple of drinks on the weekends will have a large effect on you, but I'd advise against drinking the same day you workout.

I think it's just a matter of common sense. The OP said he just sat down with a 6-pack. If he finishes the whole 6 pack hours after completing the work out, I would have to think yes, it's a waste. If he's going to have one beer, I don't see it's worst thing in the world.

Now that we cleared that up, I just drank a 6 pack and I lifted weights yesterday.

How bad is that?

Why on earth would you drink if you train? Let alone RIGHT AFTER you finish weight training?
 

"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.

Whatever you do, NEVER EVER drink BEFORE your workout :)
