"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.

It's called a refeed day. Keeps your thyroid from shutting down.
 

"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 agree with sstype, although he may be alittle extreme. But who honestly doesnt know this? If you've read DIESEL's guide to bulking, or know any common knowledge about bodybuilding, you know its best to stay away from fatty/unhealthy foods. You dont even need to name them "wussy foods"... all you need to know is that they are bad for your health. Plain and simple.

As for the day off, I always thought it was to help you stay motivated. Kinda like it being super hard to go cold turkey, but if you have a cheat day, its easier to deal with. If you go Nazi on it, it may work for a short time, but after awhile you're bound to break down and binge.

Reread my post. If you are in some circumstance where your only lunch available consists of hamburgers and french fries, sure go for that hamburger and few fries and have a nice glass of water with it. But dont go OVERBOARD.

RESIST the temptation! Only sissy girls binge on cake and ice cream. So be a fycking man for once and say no to yourself.

IMO, though, there really is no need for a "reward" grease burger or french cheesecake. The reward comes in the form of a much better looking body and healthier body!

Flame away...
They're not "wussy foods" and abstaining from them doesn't make you more of a man. You make it seem like just because those foods are actually enjoyable that that means you can't eat them and be a man. Come on. Loosen up some. You've got the right idea, but you're taking it to the extreme.
 

"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.

I agree that you should usually stay away from a lot of that stuff but every now and then it's not going to make any difference if you have it. And what's wrong with cheese? It has hella protein, like 7 grams or something per little slice (assuming you get the sliced cheese). Sure there's probably bad stuff in it but when you're bulking like me and have a fast metabolism then it doesn't really matter. That probably holds true for a lot of the other foods on your list too.
