"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.

Man this is great news Karma.

You must of added like 50 years to your life by doing all this.

No sh!t.

Keep at it my brother. :yes:
 

"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.

Congratulations Karma, this is what this s*** is all about.

I'll try and let Alex know.

Keep up the good work, let's see what those results in another 90 days are like. I hope you didn't tell the doc your diet :D

"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.

AND sisters.

My fault for overlooking the ladies.

Speaking of ladies, Mrs. K and Li'l K are following my lead. I suppose seeing the dramatic results from my blood tests shook 'em up.

Sorry, I got a little distracted but not with my lifestyle change. Still working out hard, watching my intake, upped my fish oil another 2 grams per day and added cinnamon capsules to my regimen.

I don't need to go back to my Doctor for another 6 months due to my tests being so fvcking clean :).

I'll do a better job of staying in touch in here. Promise.

Keep it up brother Karma!

And if I can make a suggestion to possibly help you along your path of change. I too am getting into working out, eating better, etc. One small book I found that is really helping me stay on track is this.

http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2195363&cp&kw=bodyminder&origkw=bodyminder&sr=1

It's only $13.00 as a gold card member and it is incredibly well designed as far as tracking your daily goals, accomplishments, diet intake, reminders, etc.

I have been using for 2 weeks now and it's been great.
 

"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.

Karma's inspired me to get back into my cardio regime and eat healthier as well.

I've been doing a lot of research on good things to eat for the new regimen and for some fats to stave off the hunger pangs I'm going to get Walnuts, Almonds and low fat peanut butter and for antioxidants I'm going to get some blueberries and purple grapes.

Its funny how this health stuff has become so interesting to me but when you start to research how your body works and what foods help you to feel better all around its simply fascinating.

Anyway kickass news about not having to see the doc for six months Karma.

You are really coming along well brother.

KontrollerX you're one of my inspirations brother. One piece of advice is to watch out for low fat anything. They add loads of sugar to compensate. I'm proud of you for being the best you can be. Warboss rode my ass about low fat.

Update time:

My Golds membership ran out January 1st and instead of renewing it I decided to buy a treadmill and get my cardio with that and our pool. Also it's that time of the year and I'm out in the sun doing the yardwork.

This has been a pretty interesting experiment seeing if I can keep up the intensity and motivation to work out at home and so far I'm pretty successful.

There's a Weider squat rack with 200 lbs of weight at Sams Club so that's next on my list.

For all of you old farts like me who lack the motivation to get off your ass just realize what I've been able to do with just some willpower and reinforcement from the brothers and the Mods here.

Unbelievable.

I apologies for not posting in here as I've become accustomed to my routine.
I realize a lot of guys read my posts for motivation and I hold that with sincerity.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Congrats Karma. I road my mtn. bike around 1,500 miles last year. This year I am finding it harder and harder to find time to get out for a ride. In January my wife and I bought a treadmill. I have been using that thing on average 4-5 days a week. Sometimes a brisk 20-25 minute walk, sometimes a 20 minute run, and sometimes a 45 minute walk. It works great. I work from home (when not at a customer site) and I noticed it is easy to pack on pounds when your desk is 20 feet from your bedroom. A quick 20 minute walk in the morning and another at the end of the work day and it is like I walked to and from work (1 mile+) each way. I have made some changes to my diet and since I weighed myself on Jan. 2, I am down 6 pounds. Not great, but not bad either (avg. 2 pounds/ mth). For me the treadmill has been a great investment.

Hell yes! I know how easy it is to go from the desk to the fridge.

I keep the treadmill in the garage with the tv and the Ipod right there so I can watch the Today show or listen to Tool and beat my legs to death.

Props to you brother and keep it goin'!
 

"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.
