"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I don't get it. I've cleaned up my diet, try to do cardio 4 times a week (sprints, not jogging or walking either) and I'm still about the same weight.

I've been lifting alot less lately due to my gym membership running out and the highschool weightroom supervisor opens up the school weightroom when he pleases. So I know I'm losing muscle yet I still weigh the same!

What the hell is going on? Am I not working hard enough in my cardio. Do I need to sprint until I pass out in order to burn fat? Christ what is going on!?!
 

"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 is your carb intake like?

I wouldn't suggest dropping carbs completely, but if your carb intake is too high, you may find it harder to burn fat. My advice would be to limit your carbs to the morning and try to go the rest of the day with as little as you can. I've been having amazing success doing this recently.

Other suggestions, if you're not already doing so, is to eat 6-8 small meals per day, drinking lots of water and try green tea (I prefer the pills personally, but the tea is probably better). This will help speed up your metabolism.

Cut your calories down to 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day and you'll lose weight. Search the internet for the name Nancy Clark and look up her book called the Sports Nutrition Guidebook.
