Heh, good idea with the ignore. I'd do it myself, but I kind of like driving by savage car wrecks to see what happened.
"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.

"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.

Not as a general rule, genetics and age play a role. A hardgainer could never get away with that, but an average-above average trainee might.

Ya I know, but I don't have the time to respond to every piece of misinformation this guy puts out. And for every person that points out some of this bad advice, he just copies and pastes stuff from bb.com, and writes 2-4 replies in a row (look at this thread) to say something that could be said in 1 reply. The more you argue with him, the more he'll post since he's on the comp 24-7. It's funny how he says he works out 6-7 days a week, if by working out means posting on sosuave, then yeah I'll agree.
The guy claims he has photos of his progress, yet can't post them and wants you to add him to MSN so he can show them to you, but in all reality, he's prolly gonna sign you up for dozens of different porn mail lists. Not that I'd bother, at this point they'd probably be photos of someone else anyway.
People can listen to this stuff at their own risk.
"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.

I don't completely disagree, but I will still not recommend playing soccer/doing cardio etc every day if you're trying to add muscle mass, unless all you're doing for cardio is walking to get some cardiovascular fitness. Low intensity cardio will usually do more good than bad, even help gains by increasing appetite.

As the author of this thread, I don't care about cardio at all.
I wonder how you can keep optimal reps for bulking (4-6 reps)?
After a coupel of sets I am usually quite tired to make more than 1-2 reps in the next set. But I feel my muscles can work with less weights.
So either I should wait longer between sets (5 min? 10 min??) to get to 4 reps per set again, or I should decrease the weights.
What is a good way to keep the optimal reps for bulking?

get a spotter, do 6 reps per set, and make sure you can get the 6 reps on your first set. Then do 3 sets. If you start losin a little speed, have your spotter give you a little boost. Do your reps forced if you have to (spot doing a lot of work).
Focus on making the lbs go up every week bro.

There is not way I find a spotter: people I know don't give a s*** about helping on a regular basis. It would be ideal though to find one.
But anyway, what you said essentually equals to lowering the weights and doing 6 reps. Ok, I'll try that though it not that easy to do with a barbell. Much easier with a machine.
"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.

Forced reps are great for the last set of the exercise. Real burners.

The guy's never gonna do it. He's a troll, and the moderators won't friggin' delete his posts because some of the stuff that he copies over from bbing.com is halfway accurate.
