"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.

Losing weight while maintaining muscle mass?

Just after some advice ... I currently spend 4-5 days at the gym, doing only weight training. As a result, I have a reasonable amount of muscle mass, but also have a much higher body fat percentage then I would like.

I was wondering what the best approach would be for dropping weight, without losing too much muscular development. Should I just concentrate on cardio for the next couple of months with no weights? Should I do a combo of weights and cardio? Will maintaining a high protein intake help? Any advice would be appreciated.
 

"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.

Lift and do HIIT
Thank you for the advice.

Should I combine them in the same session, or did you mean do them on alternate days? If I was to combine them in the one session, should I lift first or do the HITT first?

I do lifting on Mondays, Wednesday and Friday and do HIIT on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday

I find it best to do HIIT right after a lifting.

You shouldn't do HIIT more than 3 times a week. It's extremly hard on the body. If it was ok I would be doing it 3 times a week cause Im cutting and I love it.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Generalization...

It depends what fitness level you're at. Yeah when I started doing HIIT for tennis training, sure I started at 2 days a week. Now I'm levelled off at 5 days a week. Perhaps our intensity levels are different...What do you do for HIIT?

By the way, being hard on your body is how you get fit.

It is a fair point though ... I am strong but very unfit, so five days a week may be pushing it ... I was thinking maybe three days a week of HITT/weights (20 minute sprints with a 3/1 rest/sprint ratio) and one day of just weights ...
