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.
"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.

"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.

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:
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
