"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.

And due to concentrated milk...Greek yogurt is another big one that is reactive in a lot of people.
It's hard to get around solid natural high quality foods, almost impossible. I get mines in chicken breasts, salmon, eggs, i do beef about once or twice a month tops. A protein shake may be thrown in occasionally.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I cooked quinoa for the first time this week. I realize it's useful for dieting due to being the same amount of carbs as rice, or oatmeal, at half the serving size.
I switched completely to sweet potatoe because oats have a reaction in some people which cause inflammation.

Through trial and error, I found that if I eat more than 2 servings of oats, I'll get digestion issues.
I was eating one serving of oats... But for whatever reason sweet potatoe results in some sweating and elevated body temps when i'm doing my thing, going to stay with this...

On the topic of digestion, I've been using Align probiotic and it has helped quite a bit. I'm not planning to use it long term and wanted so see what you use to get probiotics. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of yogurt
 

"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.

Homemade Kefir, kefir water or sauerkraut are the best forms of beneficial bacteria

I use a very high quality protein, so I didn't experience this, but if you say so.
Has nothing to do with protein quality, it has to do with concentrated milk's reaction in many people. The highest quality protein in the world will still cause problems to people who have inflammatory actions towards it.

Humans are the only species who continue to drink milk after they stop feeding from their mothers.

That's true, however, there are many non-dairy options.



 

"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.

Quick check in after almost 2 weeks, 8 days of travel and drinking
173 lbs

Going to try to keep it clean from here on out. Also drinking about a gallon and a half of water a day.

That water intake is too high unless you are severely dehydrated or really sweating a lot. Ideal amount is half your body weight in ounces with more needed if you are working out hard and/or sweating a lot.

More doesn't equate to better.

I was playing gold 2 Saturdays ago and the next morning I couldn't move my rotator cuff and my brachialis/brachioradialis was in pain. I was able to move my rotator cuff freely a couple days later and bench pressing is no problem. So about 2 weeks later, my brachialis/brachioradialis has pain again to the point where it was near impossible to do bicep curls. Anyone had this happen to them?

I rode my bike to the gym tdoay and a super cute asian chick checked me in, probably saw me dismounting. She gave me a pretty seductive smile and gaze that totally made my workout and day so much better.

Upped my squats to 130 on the smith machine doing 5x5.

Unless you want to injure yourself, don't do Smith machine squats ever.

Completely unnatural motion for the body to do, especially when squatting.

If you are afraid to do normal squats or there isn't a squat rack, a much better alternative would be to use a bench and do Bulgarian Split Squats with dumbbells

i actually pulled this off in about two weeks last month for my trip to Las Vegas.

ate minimal food, salads with eggs as my entire meal for the day. (consumed less than 500 calories a day)

two eggs boiled or scrambled for the day.

worked out lifting and running. Cut sweets and carbs completely.

After two weeks i lost 14lbs. I was planning a vacation to vegas and wanted to be able to eat and look better without blowing up. My friends saw me and asked what i did to lose weight.
 

"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.
