"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.

I recently talked to someone and they said that they would be starting this workout program and get shredded in 2 months. Anyone heard of this...? I saw some videos on youtube of some of the transformations and their is a difference but that should be normal with any exercise I assume. Any ideas...?:flowers:

Here's the website.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

EFFORT means that "I hope your joking" as in he hopes that you're not that dumb that you belive that rubbish :)
Or so I'm assuming because I think so aswell.

it's not rubbish. it does get you shredded, look at the before after pics. if you don't have muscle, you may look worse after shredding.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I've seen the Ab Ripper X program, and I use it as part of my gym routine now, I'll use their stretch, yoga and polymetrics programs too sometimes but the others are just too impractical to do at home.

Honestly, this is actually worth looking into for those 4 programs alone.

Interesting you bring this up because I just saw the infomercial this morning and it looks like it gives you results.

it looks alright for cutting or something... none of the video's i've seen have shown increases in muscle mass, just a lot of loss...roughly fat loss i guess.

"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.

Actually it works pretty well. My buddy used it and went from 6'0 215 to 6'0 195, toned up and got ripped. If you decide to do it, get ready to do a LOT of pullups. the Ab Ripper is ridiculous btw. You'll feel it for a week the first time you do it.

Not this again...


You're better off doing something like CrossFit to cut down.
If you don't have the muscle originally, you won't look shredded. On any cutting program.

Just curious, have any of you nay-sayers tried the program, or is all of the negative feedback based on your theory of what the program is?

I agree with what your saying EFFORT but from some of the people that I have talked to who are on it say that it's a lot tougher than it seems. They also claim that some of THEIR friends that have tried it also have yielded results. Now 2 of the people I know don't really have any muscle mass and one of the guys is kinda fat but I'll see how they are when I see them next time.
 

"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.

No magic in deadlifts and squats, check Ross Enamait. He deadlifted 495 lbs and can be later quoted saying that he "can count on his hands the amount of times he has deadlifted."

He does do dumbbell cleans, jerks and snatches though. Main point is, he lifts heavy.

Lifting heavy objects like barbells and dumb bells is definitely useful. The body itself can also provide enough resistance for strength training or bodybuilding. Resistance is resistance whether it comes from your body or an external weight.

I've seen the P90X commercial, and it definitely looks good. There are better things to do though.
