"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.

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

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
