"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

This post is inspired by a question by my fellow player @nicksaiz65. What a motivating guy!

I only do something if I can I can do for life.

I try on an activity, and calibrate each rule according to how an action can fit into my life.

- I made a rule to cook all my meals and not eat anything else. Yes I can do this for life.

If I crave cake, I gotta make it to have it.
Pizza? Sure. Whatever.

I avoid junk, but if there's something like ramen I wanna have, I use a concept of temptation bundling.

Bundle in lots of protein with something I enjoy eating. Have to eat the boiled eggs or sauteed chicken breasts before that pasta/noodles/icecream sandwich.

- I go to the gym every single day. That doesn't mean im a freak or I'm over training, just that I'll be getting my shoes on and getting inside the gym as a habit for life.

I am allowed to walk out in 10 minutes if I haven't slept in 3 days due to work. But I have to enter the workout zone.

- I play music regularly, I can do this for life.

- I don't eat any form of simple sugar, I use artificial sweeteners and despite lot of people being against it, stevia hasn't harmed me since the last 5 years I've been using it.

- I talk to new people everyday, I can do this for life.

- I don't aim to get shredded to veiny 6 packs, I can't do it for life

- I don't avoid fried chicken, I like it and I don't want to avoid it for life

- I don't book five star hotel rooms for lays, I can't do it for life

- I don't take girls out to fancy places, I can't do it for life

- I don't want to get married for life, cuz I don't want to be with one woman all my life

"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.

This is an amazing post bro. Sustainability is truly the most important thing. Got to think about it when adding these things to your life!

Artificial sweeteners are the ish. It makes sticking to the diet infinitely easier. That’s awesome that you’ve used them for dang near 5 years. People say you’ll die from them; at least we’ll die shredded lmao.

I’ve been using your temptation building as well. I didn’t actually have a name for it, but it’s the best way to get that protein. Martin Berkhan says that you need to find ways to get your protein that you honest to God enjoy so that you can stick to it.

This goes way deeper than just fitness imo. It’s a lifestyle mentality.

Oh yea it's definitely a mentality of balance where you don't feel like you're sacrificing and leaving something for later.

Yeah diet coke, stevia in coffee, you name it. I haven't had any processed sugar in years.

If our routines are healthy, keep our cravings satisfied and can be sustained, there's no better ikigai haha.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

What if you're trapped on an island and all you have are granola bars?
Learn to bait birds with them.

Eat half the birds. Trap half. Maintain gains.

Use the trapped birds to make a bird powered sailboat.

Come back looking like tarzen, open girls by using your question, spit my story.

DM you thanking you for the granolas.
