"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.

"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.
Tack mannen! har du någon journal nånstans?
Hehe, det var verkligen inte meningen att låta överlägsen - det var ju någon som frågade vad det betydde... tänkte bara att man kunde hjälpa till genom att rätta stavningen.
Nej, jag har inte någon journal uppe... inte än iaf. Fortsätt med det du gör, ser ut att gå jävligt bra för dig
"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.
Det är typ en kille på gymmet som alltid maxar samtidigt som jag gör det, har haft otur med honom, först i knäböjen, sen i militärpressen och sen när jag bänkade, och han tog mer i allt. Fick lite samma känsla. När jag precis har pallat 150 kg så kommer du o drar mer... =D
Semag: It's the secret swedish brotherhood. We're after your toaster, beware! =D
It looks like you got the same "problems" as me - My legs are strong compared to the rest of my body, or at least it used to be so before my rows went way up these last couple of months. It's pretty sick - I squat 145kg for 3reps ass to grass and I barbell row 150kg for 10reps.
It's about time for my legs to become my "strong side" again. Going to take good care of my diet and rest a lot this summer and will strive for a squat @ 180kg. Hey, even if I won't reach my goals I might as well set high standards - reach for the sky baby :crackup: :cheer:

Felt like an OK workout.
Double: yes actually we do. I'm so emotional right now I could kill myself and everyone around me.
Slump: **** dude, are your barbell rows for real or do you mean deadlifts? Good luck with acheiving your goal!
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
"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.
i meant i think the movie is unrealistic. not because he is unbeatable but because he drinks beer, and you dont see him eat any protein. And with this body, come on some winstrol injecting would be a little bit more realistic than drinking beer with his old buddys
if the movies would be kept more realistic like the rock drinking a protein shake instead of beer, or brad pitt in troja eating ****loadz of meat than the people would understand much better the bodybuilding lifestyle and i wouldnt be faced with **** questions about the food im eating. ****ing unrealistic movies ruining everything for us!"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.
