Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

OP is asking for supplements specifically. It's a bit presumptive to assume he's not already maximizing things like sleep, diet, etc.

The best supplements for raising libido are panax ginseng, KSM-66 ashwaganda, yohimbine, tyrosine, cistanche. Fadogia and tongkat ali should as well since they're proven to raise T.

Then there's also some supplements/nootropics that are more recreational. Hands down, the best way to raise libido is phenibut, but i only advise taking 1-2g every other week at most. Only take it if you have a girl you've already banged come over to fvck.

We can also get into the RC territory but I haven't ventured here. I've heard melanotan II raises libido substantially.


Not exactly. Physiology influences your libido. If you get rock hard at the mere sight of a hot girl, you will naturally be more horny.
Agree on physiology. It’s a little chicken vs egg. For example blood flow from the above creating a physiological nerve stimulation causing all sorts of sexual ambition
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Not really because if he was he would have no need for supplements.
That's just not true. Some people have naturally lower libido. I routinely go 2 weeks without fapping and several months without sex and don't even notice. Even when I'm in peak physical shape and health it's not very high for very long. I sometimes have short bursts of high libido but it only lasts a week or so and if I nut even once it goes away.

Then your body is out of balance whether you want to admit it or not. Being in good physical shape and your body being in balance are completely different things.

Out of balance? What exactly would be out of balance? I've been like this for 20+ years.

Out of curiosity, do you happen to be an introvert or have an avoidant personality?

I noticed many times that when I'm forced to be around people more than my desired amount, my libido gets lower only to come back when I have to change to stay by myself for enough time to recharge.
 

"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.

Avoidant - no, but I am extremely introverted. I am alone all the time, plenty of recharging. Socializing can boost it slightly if for instance I'm in a place with lots of attractive women.

My libido is quite low and has been for as long as I can remember, even in my teen years. It's a dopamine thing... pretty simple, 100% of libido is tied to dopamine function in the nucleus accumbens. On that note, exterversion/introversion are tied to baseline dopamine receptor densities, which is completely genetic.

Totally agree with all, too bad people think that we should "put some work into socializing" as if we were lazy kids skipping homeworks.

I believe libido and relax are strongly connected so when people like us cant really recharge in solitude and silence, the remaining stress doesnt allow libido to properly manifest.

Yup, stress is antagonistic to Test and libido in general. That's why I suggested Ashwagandha and Ginseng.

But yes when people say "you're so quiet" the best response is "and you won't shut the **** up".

Hormones. Mineral levels. Typically these work in conjunction with one another and usually depend on ratios to each other.
Nigga I can attach some of my bloodwork if you want. My total T has been around 1000-1200ng/DL consistently every time I've tested the past 2 years. My vitamin D levels were also high, close to the top of the ref range. Thyroid T1-T4 were solid. Everything else was solid too, I've had comprehensive blood panels and lidid panels. It's just a dopamine thing. Not even an "imbalance" its just how I was built.

What's your T:E ratio, T: Progesterone ratio and E: P ratio?

DHEA-S level?

Age? Assuming you’re on exogenous T?

I don't think I've had specific t:e ratio and my Estradiol was only tested once: 34.5 pg/ml | Ref Range ≤ 47 pg/ml

I would need to see what my Progesterone/ratio is


No, and i'm 34
What's your Free T? Total T doesn't mean much it's the Free T that matters.
 

"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.

I know. I bring this up (and my high SHBG/prolactin) with the doctors/specialists and they dismiss it and just say "well ur T is high so ur good herp derp".

With those numbers you’re most definitely are an outlier, provided you’re not pinning. ~1000 is generally what you’d get off ~250mg t cyp weekly at 35.

Also something is going on with your liver given your alkaline phosphatase numbers.

Exogenous testosterone can have effects on the liver, which could potentially alter ALP levels. ALP, is a sign of liver stress or damage.

Anyway if no one is looking into the reasons for elevated phosphatase you need to ask an IM or endocrinologist doc about it. You only have one liver.

Goly F those T numbers, thats probably the closest thing to live in God mode.
Not really...his free T, the kind that actually matters, is low normal range for the most part. There is something funky going on there...perhaps look into Stinging Nettle Root to bind to SHBG to up your free T levels?

I took high dose stinging nettle root and boron for a few months, and while I don't recall if I had another test done after I took them, subjectively speaking I felt the exact same... I even tried Cabergoline to lower my prolactin levels and to see if it'd increase libido/refractory period but I felt no different on it (but did have mild side effects which indicates it was pharmacologically active).

Either way I don't think you can say my hormones are so completely out of whack that they explain why my libido is comparable to an 80 year old man with diabetes. Maybe they're not perfectly optimal but c'mon. I insist it's dopaminergic and there's nothing wrong with me, just how I am wired. Introverts have far less excitability/arousal, and I'm on the extreme end of introversion, literally 99th percentile.

It means nothing, subjectively and experientially nothing about me says high T except my face/facial hair, but that's mostly genetic/pre-natal anyway.

I asked them about this and they suggested weight lifting can elevate alk phos and said I shouldn't worry. Then again, Drs say that about everything because they're lazy and don't like opening up pandoras box.

Weird thing is, in my most recent bloodwork, my alk phos was much lower and within normal range...and I have no idea why since it's been high for YEARS (even when my Test was lower in my mid 20s) and nothing has changed.

But yeah no, I've never taken anything whatsoever except for herbal supplements. I'm pretty open about my drug use if I was on gear i'd admit it lol. And no I don't take drugs that tax the liver.

"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.
