"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I've weighted in the evening, about 4 hours after workout and then again in the morning as I always do. The difference was in the morning I lost 2.5 lbs of muscle.


Is there anyway to prevent this muscle loss?


Now, my program is targeted at loosing weight and body fat, which Im able to do well. I'm working with understanding that I'll loose some muscle as part of process, I have no problems there. My weight lifting, cardio, and diet is so that I metabolize as much as possible. In 2 months my muscle mass stayed pretty much unchanged, fluctuating up and down, up after workout, and down the day after, when I'm about to begin my next round 48 hours later I have pretty much same amounts of muscle, BUT my muscle tone is improving. I've been able to loose 6% body fat, and some 30 or so lbs.


Besides the diet, is there anything else I can change that will help me build muscle. Does glycogen or creatine gives me what I want? If I don't loose that build up muscle, I should be able to have more of it, which will increase my metabolism even more.
 

"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.

My scale shows muscle mass along with body water %. Under MM it showed that I lost 2.5 lbs. Is it possible?

Everyone's weight fluctuates throughout the day.

Also, how can a scale possibly accurately tell you your muscle mass? It can't.

Calm down.

Muscle/fat/water scales are **** unless you get tested in a lab. Trust me, you're not losing muscle.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
