"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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?
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.
