"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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.
 

"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.

Here are a couple of his pics so you can see the difference it makes when you get in good shape.

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.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.

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

Incidentally, that guy's change is astounding!
