"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Kruegs Log V.2

"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.

Thanks Stig.

No, not a 5x5 program; though it looks like it. Just a simple power cycle - working up a 5RM from progressive overloading. The goal is to put on some mass by getting some rep work in but, still train for strength. Just focusing less on heavy singles for the time being.

"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.

Loving the consistency..and thanks for introducing me to deficit pulls..I'd seen people doing them before but didn't think anything of it. Now that I've been doing them for a month/month and a half, I've noticed definite improvements.

Thanks Stig!

Glad to help, though I cant take all the credit, just a little tip I picked up from guys who are bigger and stronger than me. :D

Was gonna squat after work yesterday but, my left hip was kind of aggravated. When my body moved a certin way I had kind of pain/soreness. Not sure if I did something while working or twisted my body the wrong way or something. Anyways, everything was good this morning..

"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.

haha show them asswipes who is boss!
In my experience the sole factor for my rapid strength gainz was hating my fellow gym-goerz.
I hated them so much i wanted to make them look like sh!t during every workout.
Try competing or at least hating d other memberz.it works!
