"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.

I've heard a lot of interesting comments over the years, and I'm convinced almost all of them stem from envy and bitterness:

"I wish I had the time to hit the gym but [INSERT EXCUSE HERE] won't allow it."

"I wish I liked eating tuna and rice and oatmeal."

I usually hear the most amusing comments from sedentary/overweight know-it-all types who "used to" bench 500 pounds.

Haha I get that alot.

I used to bench this much
I used to run this much
I was seriously ripped and in shape

OK.. So what are you doing now? Erm I just don't have the time lol
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I've never met a mirror I didn't like, and, in my opinion, gym owners understand that most people like to look at themselves while training, which is why almost every gym has mirrors.
Looking in the mirror is standard.. Most lifters do it.. I don't see the harm!

Not sure how one can gauge, level of Gym Freak, from the amount of time looked in the mirror.

I've been hitting the gym for years, never noticed anyone over doing it, too busy focused on my workout.

Maybe its different in some areas.

Everything in moderation. I go to the gym religiously, but I don't really discuss it with others unless they specifically ask. "Gym freak" to me means someone who is obsessive about exercise. There is a point where it is too much IMO.
