"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

that's neat seeing pictures of your set up. No mirrors?
Lol these are my playground for more than 7 years.. The only mirrors i see when im walking at the mall and seeing how good i am, and enjoying the Validation that hot women gave me.
 

"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.

which barbell you like better? the straight one?
The curved one where my future gf can play with light setup and for myself to do the superset bicept curls and 12 kg single dumbell for powerlift curls.. Those magnetic resistance crosstrainer giving the same experience and feedback on my feet same as the commercial ones that i use at gym..

hmm.
its funny, I try to prepare for my future boyfriend too.
I have 2 of most sporting equipment (bikes, rackets, skiis((no boots yet for him)), life jackets, extra sparring wraps, running belts, rods, gu ns...) Going to be a little selfish and just buy weightlifting equip. for myself only.
I used to say all that was for my future husband but now I know its boyfriend only.
Good attitudes Focal. Thanks for pictures. Its energising and interesting to see other's setups.

I decided on a cheaper place to live so even less square feet than here, so no bench or machines but I intend to get more plates at least and I'll pick up my skipping rope at the house later today to have here.

There's a lot of freedom having your own cardio crosstrainer there. There's that climbing a staircase one that I really like. That might be my second machine after a rower like Xeno has.
Far into the future though for the weight and dedicated gym room I want in my future space...maybe 3 years? We'll see.

Well thats so fvcking good plans.. Im glad your passion towards your own well-being were put on your top priority, for women i suggest the same setup that i have, only lighter maybe max 28kg for bench setup and 6 kg single db for bicept curls, those crosstrainer have endless numbers of benefits, shapping your hips and having great ass, i repeat, HAVING GREAT ASS, stronger bone stucture, burning fat at multiplying rates even hours after using it ure still in fat burning state, for my age at 40 the women im sleeping with 4 of them saying im 32ish.. I guess at 65 i wont look old at all.

Edited.. 28kg for bench

Got my resistance bands in a few days ago; definitely an alternative to weights. Feels good to have my entire body sore after a YouTube workout, after several weeks of gyms being closed.

Still looking for dumbbells once things calm down for the second wave of COVID.
I doubt gym will open anytime soon those bussines were screwed, even if it open i wont go in there.
 

"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.
