"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm going to imply here that if you don't like running, just go for a 1h walk. It burns decent enough and it's better that nothing.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I agree. I do weights Mon/Wed/Fri and Swimming Tues/Thurs. I've been picking up a lot of speed so I recently got some good goggles. Wow, if anyone has not experienced this, try it ! It makes swimming even more fun... I like looking into the depths at the bottom and everything. Some person was swimming on the wrong side of the pool and I saw them underwater at the last minute and dived under him. Haha.

Plus, swimming seems to have an effect on muscles too because of the resistance.

Ok first off Alex is right, arching and rounding are the opposite thing.

Second, I know it is essential to have a protein shake after lifting. But I want to do a little cardio afterwards. How long can I do cardio before I have adverse effects since I don't have that protein? I heard if you don't feed yourself protein after lifting it can actually decrease muscle mass.

Bring a protein shake to drink after you lift, but before you run.
 

"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.

Make sure your shake has carbs in it too especially if you are doing cardio afterwards.

I usually drink one before I lift and another after. Is that too much?

That's fine as long as your workouts are only about an hour. If you work out for too long without nutrition your body will start feeding off of itself.

Ok I know that sounds simple enough but after I lift I like to mix 2 raw eggs in a blender with my protein shake. Like if I have my protein shake 30 minutes after I lift my last dumbbell will I still be fine?

I don't see a problem with that.

Sounds like we're overanalysing a little bit.

Just lift weights and then eat some food.
