Hey guys, lately I've been interested in Pilates. I was wondering if anyone is experienced with the Pilates method on this forum. I'm specifically interested in adding it to my basketball training. Since I'm not going to be paying for a trainer, I was wondering if anybody could recommend good books, websites, etc to start with.
"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Unfortunately you're going to get the ignorance which runs rampant around here spouting dumb sh!t like: "Aw homie, pilates is for 'ho's."
I can't do pilates because I'm a fat prick. But I do yoga.

i am going to tell you a secret... pilates kicked my azz.
and i am a healthy 100 lb woman.
start with beginners yoga, and work your way up to pilates.
you may find , as i did, that yoga is good enough.

Yea, I know what you're talking about. A ton of NBA players and many other athletes are doing it, so hopefully that will shut up the people who say stuff like that.KarmaSutra said:
hehe, that's what I like to hear actually! I'm looking for something that will hopefully be more challenging than the stuff that I do now. How did you start? Did you have a trainer?penkitten said:
"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.
