"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.

If I'm feeling strong hunger pangs later in the evening, especially before bed, is that a sign that my calorie deficit is too large and I'm losing muscle, or is that expected?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Depends at what stage you are at while cutting. At 15 % bf you shouldn't need to be feeling hunger pains, save your strict dieting and heavy cardio for getting into sub 10 % bf if that's your aim. Don't cut carbs too quickly, this is a long haul thing and you need to preserve/gain muscle. IMO at this level cutting per se isn't necessary, getting to a leanish 12 % bf is a good idea.

"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.

How many meals/day do you eat?

The time between your last meal and when you go to bed is too far apart I'm thinking. Since going to bed hungry isn't a good idea.. When this happens to me I eat some baby carrots or some small veggie snack if I get hungry immediately before bed.

Ideally the last meal of the day would be close enough to bedtime to not be hungry but not IMMEDIATELY before bed (correct me if I'm wrong.. but even eating a chicken breast and some veggies and then going to bed right away isn't a good idea right?).

aiming for six a day with protein included in each meal, no simple sugars, only veggies as carbs after 5pm etc. So I guess the simple answer to the question is I should be eating a bit more?
