"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.

Let's see some results....

"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.

who are these people that are claiming to be huge ?
I'm not naming names,they know who they are. I just received an PM from one who claims they are twice my size and twice as defined at 16 years old......If that were true they would be bodybuilding! He claims he did it off of push ups and sit ups only......

My problems with my diet lie within me mainly. Granted, I am saving money for a car, and I do have a few bills to pay, but I usually let my mom do the shopping. I just never set aside time to get my sh*t together.

I don't have a cam at the moment and there's some tattoos i'd have to cover up if I ended up posting pics. But at this stage i'm not comfortable enough to do it.
 

"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.

Well, why can't you just go to sandwich shops a few times a day while you're at school? Go there and get big sandwiches, or (meat) salad boxes, or baked potatoes with toppings, etc?

It doesn't have to be extravagant and laborious to eat enough protein and calories. When your mom goes shopping ask her to get you loads of tubs of cottage cheese - 250cals and 30g of protein per tub. Cans of tuna - 150cals 30g+ of protein per can. Shove it all on wholemeal bread at home.

Or if you'd just prefer to do it, go into a store during your lunch break and get high protein foods that you like, i.e. cottage cheese, quark, tuna, etc :) You can get beef tinned in gravy.

I take whey, a multi, C, flax oil, and, when I'm not cycling steroids, creatine.
I just started flax oil too and bought the pills. Someone at my gym said the pills dont work :( Im not sure if thats true but I hate gym rumours like that and hope they do!

Hm, well, from what I've heard, pills are ok, but you have to take a lot of pills to get the same amount of flax in 2 table spoons of flax oil. 8-9 of pills for each tbsp, so you'd need about 19 pills if you're wanting to take 2tbsps like a lot of people. The oil probably works out cheaper :)

Apparently some of the quality of the product can also be degraded during the encapsulation process, thus losing some of the nutritional value.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I heard about quality lost from pills too because of the heating required to encapsulate oil. Oh well Ill finish them off and then buy some oil.

RE steroids: there's no doubt in my mind that natural results would pale in comparion to my using steroids. I've cycled 4 times, and after each cycle, I usually end up keeping about 5-8 lbs. of solid muscle...doesn't sound like a lot, but it is...you really notice it after the cycle's ended and the water retention dissapears...
I am curious whether you noticed any side effects or ill health from using them?

Also, where did you get them from and do you take them orally or another way?

Did you notice any strength enhancement or general physical fitness?

I wouldn't touch steroids myself because I'm too afraid of the side effects, but I am open minded about hearing people's experiences.

Yeah, I second each one of Jariel's questions. It'd be very interesting to hear the answers to several important questions from someone who's taken steroids and had great results from them :) Also, which steroid(s) have you tried? Dianabol, etc..?

Jariel, could you please check your PMs please mate, if/when ya get a minute? :up:

I don't know how long Espi has been cycling or what not,but I don't think that he is old enough to see the long term effects of steroids. I have seen both people that I know who have taken steroids go on "roid rage". The first tried to beat a classmate down in the middle of a school rally,he was 18 and only took one cycle. The second ended up beating his wife,thus destroying his marriage and he only took two cycles and it occurred a few years after he took them,he also has been known to get really angry and yell at people at work every once and awhile.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Im really intesreted in hearing about your steroids experiences as well espi.

ive read somewhere that the best thing it does is allow you to work out more frequently and longer. does your routine drastically change during cycles?

did you notice any difference in your hair quality? ive read it increases onset of MPB, which is what i fear most (i know, how vain).

thanks

I'd fear things other than going bald. Steroids are a touchy subject, and nothing but the utmost caution and proper usage could spell disaster in a number of ways...
