"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I went from 200 lbs to 138 and lost alot of fat, people really noticed a differance. Now alls I have left is a little chub in my gut but definetly not what it was. I want to tighten up and not have any fat and show some muscles. What would be the best thing to do? To lose weight I just ate tuna and ran alot. Everytime I look into how to turn the little baby fat I have left into muscle. I see all these damn scientific terms etc. Can somone point me in the right direction.

For example, "salad for breakfast" "2 hours later a can of tuna" "small salad and eggwhite and tuna for dinner"

Basicly some plain english please?
 

"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.

DEISEL's guides are a good place to start. I'd recommend bulking and not worrying about losing the rest of your fat right now. You've already lost plenty :eek:

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

More muscle mass makes it easier to maintain a lower bodyfat percentage. Also because you're new to mass building, most likely you'll lose a little more fat just by lifting for the first couple of months. But in the long term, a little fat gain is necessary to gain muscle mass naturally with most people. Anything between ~7% and 15% BF and you're perfectly healthy.

No need to search. They're stickied at the top of the page.

I wouldn't be too concerned with a 6 pack. Bulking up will make you much more attractive than being scrawny with a 6 pack, and you'll be healthier overall. Try for that 6 pack once you get some more muscle mass.

Yes bulking is basically lifting and eating alot, but there are right and wrong ways to do it. It can be very tough to build mass even if you know what you're doing - I can't imagin trying to do it without the right game plan. You need to know what kinds of food to eat, exactly how much, and exactly what lifting routine to use to effectively gain the most amount of muscle with the least amount of fat gain.
