"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.

"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.
Doing both things at the same time is hard if not impossible. If you have lots of fat and are just starting out then do a small cut before you start to build muscle, you'll probably add some muscle even if you cut if you eat right. If you try to do both then you will probably get no where.
It depends on what body type you are. Endomorphs and mesomorphs have an easier time keeping muscle mass than ectomorphs while cutting. What helps is eating outrageous amounts of protein (at least one gram for every pound you weigh).
last year i was at 190. Now, im at 170. Goal is 160 with muscles of course. So, i would nead.. 170 grams of protein a day thenLIME! said:It can be done. I've went from 265 to 235 in about a month and a half. I've increased my overall strength during that time too (though somewhat weaker shoulders).

If you wanna drop weight and increase strength, it's a tough proposition. It'll go reallly slow and you probably won't stick with it because you won't be seeing any visible results for a month or two. But, here are the basics:
-early morning light cardio (read: brisk walk) on an empty stomach, 40-50 mins 5 times a week
-green tea... lots (like a half gallon to a gallon a day)
-lots of water (like a gallon a day)
-don't mix carb/fat meals, only carb/protein or fat/protein.
-cut carbs off ~ 5 pm or 6pm
-blast the protein, 2g/lb of bodyweight.
-lift intense, but get enough rest.
-eat every 2-3 hours

I'd recommend the eBook "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" by Tom Venuto. There's a lot of information in that book that can't be covered via forum, and you'll want the information to make more educated decisions.
In my position, I've opted to cut the fat first before deciding if I should bulk up or not. I might get down to my target body fat percentage and decide that I like the way I look!
You never know, you might like how you look if you got your BF% down to a single digit, and it's easier to drop that fat than it is to build muscle tissue.
