"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.

right now im on my first month on rippetoe and gains have been amazing, but i am fat (25% or something like it) i want to get to 18% , here i posted what my diet looks like, i have been looking for help on this site but cant find something that is adequate for me. so i need your help.



let me give you some things about me.

a year ago i started working out, but like every newbie i just wanted to peak my biceps etc, i used to work my arms 3 times per week and they would slowly develop, i gained some weight but a lot of it was fat.
a month and a half i was doing nothing so my body started shrinking so then i was on this forum and i found the rippetoe workout and i have been getting some good gains most of it on my legs, for me they are very easy to develop, while still getting some gains on other body parts.

rippetoe is the greatest workout for real, i have been lifting more every time and i added like 60 pounds on my atg squats in a 1 month period.

the reason im looking for help is because im fat 25% or some like it, and all my fat goes to my belly while im lean on other parts.
and im getting a HUGE belly, like if i was 3 months pregnant lol, so what i want is to loose some fat 18% would be awsome, while continue on rippetoe bulking.

right now im working 10+ hours a day (from 7 30 am to 6 pm) so i cant do cardio and train at the same time.

but on july im gonna quit and im gonna be on vacations until august when i go back to college and i want to impress girls and friends when i go back, so im gonna be able to do cardio everydays on a empty stomach if that what it takes.

Im gonna be posting some pictures on my profile.

im 20 yrs old. 5'7 . 168 lbs with 25% body fat or something like it

here is and example of that i eat everyday.

5 whole raw eggs with milk, natural honey, a banana, oatmeal. (this is my protein drink)

1 peanut butter sandwich with wheat bread

9 oz sirloin steak with a potato

1 apple

another 9 oz steak with beans

a hamburguer with wheat bread or something high on protein.

i cant drink protein powder because here in mexico is very expensive, and with that kind of money i can buy like 44 pounds of sirloin steaks.

stats before rippetoe

squat: 90
deadlift: 130
bench 90

NOW WITH RIPPETOE (just 3 and a half weeks)

squat: 155
deadlift: 205
bench: 130


this workout is awsome, the thing is my legs are getting damn big my ass looks like if i were j. lo


im serious about everything i said, i am willing to get what it takes, please guide me on this journey to transform my body.
 

"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.

cut carbs off at 6pm, do cardio first thing in the morning before eating anything for 1hour walking on the treadmill at 2.5-3.0mph with a slight incline 2.0-5.0, drink 1 gallon of green tea or take 3-6 green tea pills a day. The cardio is really boring and sucks but it works.
 

"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.
