"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.

"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.

Change your diet.
Eats fruits,peanuts & veggies around the clock. It will make sure your stomach stays in the 'ON' position and constantly processing stuff thus making it hard for you to gain weight.
I don't mean buy fruit juice and drink that crap,or orange,apple,grape or any other that stuff. I mean solid fruits;strawberries,grapes,pineapples,tomatoes & bananas.

Care to elaborate what you do at the gym and how your diet looks?
I have a definitive formula, that works for my body very well.
A) Get up early and run for 20 minutes.
B) Every other day do weight training. Be it whatever, exercise all muscles.
C) Proper diet. I write down calories on paper and enter them into spread sheet. Adjust caloric intake so that I feel compfy and loose about 10 lbs a month.
C.1) What you eat should have labels or a definitive nutrition value chart somewhere. It should be low fat and fat to protein ratio should be a good 3/4 protein to 1 part fat, or something similar. Lean foods.
D) Your last meal before 5 PM, you go to bed early and get plenty of sleep, wake up and repeat. It's very good life style, believe me.

I'd bet a lot of money you haven't tried everything. Christ what is with this defeatist attitude that seems to be compounding everywhere these days.HandyAndy said:
Is there a new epidemic I haven't heard of where your balls fall off and you grow breasts? Actually try finding some information in depth using the search function and you will find there is quite a number of decent threads on diet/training etc. Then, and only then, should you have to resort to making a new thread if something still isn't clear. Hell did you even try the stickies?
P.s.-How the hell is anyone going to help if you don't provide any information on your current training and diet! Use common sense!:trouble:
Edit-Stuntmann I am sorry to say this but...please don't give advice on fat loss, muscle loss yes, but not fat...
Fat-loss is a real war for some people. Treat it that way! You can't just rock up to a gym do curls, check out the chicks, cycle, then go home. You need to totally overhaul your diet, training and life style.
Things you need less of
-TV
-computer
-sugar
-carbs
-sitting down
It is impossible to grow unless you're getting to many calories.

"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.

Well, your advice, while well-intended, will prove to be catabolic for many people. Now if you have a lot of bodyfat to lose and little muscle then it could work, but 10lbs per month (for how many months??) for someone who isn't obese is going to include muscle loss with the fat.Stuntmann said:

Most guys are trying to gain weight for football, you know?
Try cutting out sugar (crabs) and eating more raw vegetables. They are good if you dip them in a salad dressing you like. Also, unsweetened tea is a good zero-calorie drink, and you'll get a little energy from the caffeine. Green tea is better than black.
But im 270lbs, i dont need to gain anymore lol, i dont really care about numbers, i want to slim my belly down, and so far no help with that...any fat burning workouts or anything, i want to flatten it out some...Bible_Belt said:

I'm not known to do this often, but this is becoming redundant.
The solution to your problem is a combination of:
a) healthy, whole food diet that is high in protein and fat, and moderate carbs.
b) low intensity morning cardio
c) hydration
d) rest
c) patience

If you have a complaint, send me a PM. Otherwise, the answers are all listed above, as well as numerous times in the H&F Vault.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
