"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You guys have probably seen many of these topics, but I cant find a fat burning workout for my obliques. I have big love handles that stick out a lot, my body would be in proportion if i got rid of them, you can see them through my clothes and everything, and I'm getting frustrated. I know I need to do cardiovascular exercises but everything I tried has failed, sprints, times laps, abdominal exercises, all of it. Can someone please give me some advice or a fat burning workout for my obliques, and some diet tips?
 

"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.

Abs are built in the kitchen, not just the Gym. I would definitely stick with the cardio and ab work, but make sure you are burning more calories than you consume.

Well I'm not trying to get ripped abs, I am just looking for a way to loose the fat around my core, because I know you can't spot reduce.

if you know you can't spot reduce, then why are you looking for a way to loose fat around your core?!!!

you just said 'I know you can't spot reduce, but how do i spot reduce?"

:crackup:

the only solution is to just keep getting your bf % down. eventually the love handles will disappear.

Oblique muscles can make your love handles stick out more. I used to do alot of lateral ab exercises, twists weighted balls, and also from wrestling but I have a lot thicker midsection than I used to. I'm 5'11 and wear size 32 or 33, but I have pretty low BF and 6 visible abs. But what I'm getting at is don't do any specific work on oblique muscles because that can cause your midsection to look bigger. They are good for stability in sports though so I don't care what it looks like or that I dont have a 28" waist.
 

"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.
