"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.

How bad is having a few beers after lifting weights?

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.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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 :)
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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?

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