"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.

This fat face obstacle maybe an advantage. I like to look at the positive side of things. Girls give me little to no IL. So I could mope about it and change my features... but instead it motivates me to learn seduction: the art of getting girls from low IL to high IL.

Don't get me wrong, I am going to lose this damned weight... but until then I will work on my game with my disadvantages. I personally don't like beards because it is hard to manage and looks worse at different angles in my opinion.

Anyway, I really like swinggcat's ideas on seduction, but this is besides the point. I thought I'd say it.
 

"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.

damn...in that last pic your eyebrows look like they're gonna fall off any second. do yourself a favor and never get them "fixed" again. if anything it makes you look more baby-like.

just lose some weight,improve your posture and get some stylish clothes(get rid of those pants), dont do anymore of this cosmetic bull****. you dont have any major flaws, so with some effort you'll look good.
 

"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.

Ok...

Don't ever go back to that salon.

Your eyebrows look like you've drawn them in with a marker.

I think you need some length in your hair on top. you face looks blocky with your hair like that.

#1 issue is you weight.

I've said it earlier - but you've got to lose the puppy fat.

I wouldn't worry to much about gaining muscle and working out heavy. Lose the fat first then gain the muscle. Cardio, cardio, cardio - with weight training.

Talk about improving your game all you want. Unless you ship up and lose the weight your wasting your time.

Yes, losing the weight will make a big diffence, but I want to point out that you should'nt view it as a long task with a goal at the end. That's how a lot of people view losing weight and that can be very offputting.

You don't have to get to -10% body fat before you start to look good. You will start to notice improvements with every few lbs you lose and that will motivate you to lose more.

What's more, you probably don't have to lose as much as you think. I expect a lot of your weight and mass is muscle and once you lose the overlaying bodyfat, you'll start to see the definition beneath.

well I don't want to get out of the game while I'm losing weight. The chase is still fun.

But yea.. I thought the salon people will give the best opinions about what looks good. I personally like my eye brows. Maybe after a close analysis it looks blocky or whatever.

If you guys can give me a picture of a good hairstyle for me (like an online picture) I can show the salon worker the picture and she can emulate it. I'll just need to grow my hair for awhile.

Thanks for all your input and I am dieting like crazy. About 1000-1500 calories eaten a day plus weight lifting. I don't do that much cardio, but I walk a lot during the day. I should run the track for like an hour a few times a week. I may just start doing that. I have been bogged down with multiple midterms for the past month.

Anyway, keep the "constructive criticism" coming. I'll post pics every so often I guess.


The weird thing is when someone asks if I want to go to dinner or if I want to eat some of their food in their dorm room, and I say "nah I'm dieting" they look at me kinda shocked. They give me the "why are you dieting??" look. Some of them even say that. I guess they don't realize the baby-face is because of the fat.

You should take pictures of yourself in only your underwear, in the same pose every 2 weeks. Then after 4-5 months or so you can look back at the pics and see what a difference you've made, physically, from dieting and exercise, good motivation booster.
 

"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.

it's a interesting thread, about that guy's transformation

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=266963

check out all the pics he posted, and compare the girls he dated when he was fat, to the girls he dated when he was in his best shape. and people say attraction for women is like a volume knob that turns slowly upwards. It's such bs, women think the same way we do when it comes to physical attraction, it's an on and off switch.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

A VERY good point, and who can dispute that evidence?

Incidentally, that guy's change is astounding!
