"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.

Thanks, I did a nice squat session today actually. I decided not to stop squatting even if I have to go as low as bodyweight squats. It took me almost a year to get the flexibility and I don't want to start over.

I was powercleaning 60kgs up to front squats for reps of 7 for a nice stretch. I'm also now personally training a close friend in my garage so I will still be around the iron :)

“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'm responding extremely well to treatment and the cancer on my neck has noticeably shrunk in just two weeks! I'm also experiencing less side effects then expected and I'm actually feeling great right now. My chemo is in two week intervals so I have time to recover from the side effects and they say I've already been through the worst of it. They predict that I will finish treatment in January.

I'm pretty excited right now knowing that I responded better then expected.

Sounds great Wolf..and really inspiring to hear your progress against this terrible disease. It will be nice to put on your CV that you beat Cancer :D
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Of course, you're at the top of the population in terms of fitness and nutrition.

I'm doing OK guys.
With chemo, as time goes on, the worse I feel and the weaker I get, but the cancer is getting smaller all the time.
I'm just over the predicted halfway mark. So I have 3 months left.

I wish I knew why this sh!t would happen to a fitness fanatic.

it has nothing to do with your fitness or dietary regime mate.. not your fault. for it to happen to someone so young it's more genetics than anything else. it hasn't come as a result of you abusing your body for years and years.

but what's important is that you've caught it early and it's being treated.. in a year's time you'll be back to your best and you'll just look at this as a minor pothole. :)

You have 3 months left to what? Until you complete the chemo treatment?

And hey dude, I feel for you about getting cancer at this young age to a healthy guy. Not saying that I've been in your shoes, but I've had other chronic disease when I was much, much younger. I felt like it completely ruined my childhood because I couldn't do lot of things that normal children could do.

Anyway, it's perfectly understandable to feel like you were cheated and given a bad hand to play with when you have been doing everything else perfect and played all of the hands perfectly (i.e. fitness fanaticism). The only thing I'll tell you is that the sooner and more readily you accept the fact that sometimes problems/causes are out of your control, the more peaceful your state of mind will become.

Like Alex said, it has a lot to do with your genetics than anything else...that I'm sure you already know by now though. And I believe you are making the best of this situation. So keep it up. :up:

Yeah guys, 3 months left of chemo and maybe some radio, not my life!!! lol.

They can't even find any cancer left in my lung. They were going to put me on 8 months of the stuff until me and the chemo obliterated the sh!t. I could actually be cancer free ATM but they can't tell with a blood test with my type of cancer. I just have to go through another 3 months for safety.

I stay sane by planning my new life after chemo and lots of fishing. I'm going to travel the world after treatment and just have as much fun as possible. Because know one ever knows how long you have left.
 

"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.
