"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

My blood work (aside from Testosterone) came back great and my estradiol levels are on the low end so no worries there either.
This is something you would need to monitor for a year before saying that. It builds over time it wouldn't happen right away.

If after a year you don't have any issues then you likely don't have to worry
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I’m not going on TRT ever and I get my bloods checked regularly my cell count and everything else has been good for 3+ months. I’ll continue to get checked.

I’ve been sleeping 8+ hours, working out hard especially legs, and walking in the day time. I can’t lie I feel so much better for it after only 1-2 weeks.

Oh yeah, then if you aren't on TRT there isn't any reason to do it...my response was directly toward what are things to watch out for while on it.

But that T level at 300 will be a problem as you get older. Whatever you need to do to get that up I would do it.

Yeah for sure, I'm trying to double that to 600 by July 2023

Yes you will. There is no "magic" testosterone booster. Like I said, if you were doing everything good up to this point, needle in your butt cheek is the next step. The sooner you make peace with it, the sooner you'll recover and feel fine, even more so if you wanna be successful in your business.
The thing is I wasn't doing everything well until this point, I've been doing everything wrong. I'm like the opposite of you, you were doing everything right so had to go TRT route.

I am getting to -12% BF (while incorporating many different things) before I even worry about my T. I'll keep getting it checked and post results here but I feel very positive I can double or even triple my normal and free T levels this year. After blasting my legs and getting more sunshine I already feel great.

Got my assessment today. So my T levels are so high that they thought I was already on TRT. I inquired because of performance issues, namely taking longer than would be expected. Upon hearing that, she dug into my LH levels. Those levels are high. High LH symptoms are common to the above related issues and also foreshadow potential hypogonadism, ie, despite having T like I’m in my 20’s, it’s actually decreasing and could cause performance troubles. She’s going back with this information to the doctors and likely, will have a Trt Script.

Spoke to doctor. He said the LH was a curious situation. Getting gear. It’s going to push my numbers to the roof but the aromatose inhibitors and hcg coming as well.

What are you referring to by "gear" in this instance? You said you have insanely high T that they presumed TRT use so I'm confused about what you're trying to do? Use gear to lower your LH levels?

Is this doctor a quack? TRT is for people with low levels not abnormally high ones.

What was you Free Testosterone? Total T is just a visualization number o your T attached to protein
Free T is always the important one...my free T is always super high even when in range from TRT which I don't quite understand why...I mean I know why, because my SHBG is very low, but I don't know why that is
 

"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.

He wanted to give me peptides. I was like no shot dude. I took a couple cycles back in my 20’s, you can imagine what my numbers were then. I know what gear does for me

I’m getting 400 mg/ week of t. The gear is because I likely have a lower T number than the test showed. I took a test a month before under same conditions and had 600 ng/dl. Something is amiss. When I took a couple cycle of enanthate (Norma Hellas) and dbol back when i was 26, I was walking around with boners 24/7. Dbol actually lowers drive so that’s really all I need to know. Sometimes you need to be your own doctor.

I find it hard to believe this many men <45 have testosterone issues…
Then you need to wake up to the ongoing poisoning that global governments are doing to their people. It's no coincidence.
 

"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.

20.6 pg/ML free T
1039 ng/DL T
39.5 pg/ML estradiol

That's pretty crazy...your free T is very low for total T being that high. You should look into stinging nettle root which will block SHBG to allow more of that T to be free. You are basically wasting all that T production and simply aromatizing it into estrogen. Might be worst case scenario since most of the T isn't usable by your body, but since there is so much of it, your estradiol levels are high because it takes all that extra T and turns it into E.

On TRT, my Total T is usually somewhere between 625-675 and free is like in the high 40s to low 50s which is way over range for free T(unsure why my SHBG is so low but it is apparently)

Your estradiol level is too high also...mid 20s is where you want to be. Might want to talk to your doctor about getting some Aromasin.

No no no!

Tell them you want Aromasin/Exemestane not Arimidex. Aromasin is a suicidal inhibitor which means it irreversibly binds to the Aromatase receptor blocking it forever until the body recycles it. This is important.

Arimidex does not and can cause estrogen rebound once it releases from the receptor.

Arimidex can also crash your E levels too low whereas Aromasin does not crash E. This is important because you want your E levels in range but not too low as Estrogen is used in males to repair testosterone receptors and for joint health as well.

Don't bother trying to explain as to why(I have already tried to like 5 different ones, I just glassy eyed stares), the doctors are clueless when it comes to this stuff, just tell them you want Aromasin/Exemestane because it's better. Doctors love prescribing that Arimidex garbage and I haven't figured out why.

Doing cycles with the time in between at a trt dose. So let's say you blast 500mg/week of T for 12 weeks, then after that, you can go down to say, 125mg/week of T which would bring you within normal range. Keep that for say, 6 weeks, then blast 500mg/week for another 12 weeks.

Since you're committing to shutting down your HPTA, it makes more sense to do this since you're shut down anyways.
This is incredible.

I was always in disbelief of the following. There is a dude at the pool who must be doing this. No homo, but the guy is the poster child for the term ‘skipping leg day’. He is my age and it is not humanely possible to be so top heavy, without leg work.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
