"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.

"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.
The last one was the last straw.
Low intensity cardio doesn't lead to muscle loss, but high intensity does?
NEITHER makes you lose muscle if you eat properly and don't do it on an empty stomach.
If you're really fat, you do hiit, but if you're in good shape, you do low intensity? With what logic?
What's the problem with the getting started post?
5-6 meals isn't difficult. A protein shake with a piece of fruit could constitute a meal in the worst case scenario.
Look up a program by Joe Defranco - Westside for Skinny Bastards. It's a good starter program for building muscle. The other guy's isn't bad either but not enough compound lifts for my liking.
Also look up Rippetoe's 5x5 program.

HandyAndy...I had a 2000 calorie diet with ten minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week at 10 minutes. I lost about fifty pounds in five months, I did medium to low intensity cardio. BUT what i focused on were my big three. Incline bench, Squat, Deadlift. I did a three day split and followed routines given to me by Warboss and Effort. With a similar diet to what was said earlier in this post
Deadlifts are awesome - but they aren't going to be easy. they are going to be hell, and you will love it haha. Good luck to you
"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.

When I was really leaning out, I was doing this:
1. The Where to Start routine, more or less.
2. Cardio 4-5x per week. This constituted a 30 minute interval run/walk. I'd start off by walking for two minutes, then run for one minute, walk for two, run for one, etc etc etc until i hit 30 minutes.
3. Occasionally I'd mix this up with some sprints: Pick a point 40 feet away, sprint there and back facing the same direction(harder), I did this 8 times in roughly 1 minute. I'd repeat this 3 times, by the end I was lying on the ground about to throw up almost every time.
4. My diet consisted of chicken, tuna, vegetables, 6 eggs per day, all the vitamins and other goodies as well each day, every few days I'd have a steak or fish or something. My diet was a little low in calories/fats which stopped me from putting on some serious muscle, though I was able to get my numbers up quite high regardless. I also drank green tea religiously. Oatmeal was also a mainstay in my diet then. Essentially it was a high protein, mod.high carb, sadly low fats.
That's from my personal experience only, no "general" information.
Well any form of cardio in itself is catabolic to some level whether minor or not. The idea is to eat properly to minimise it, that's all. But yes low intensity does less likely lead to catabolism in general, if you do it on an empty stomach first thing then you tap into fat stores and burn mainly fat. The key is to not overdo it so that muscle becomes the fuel used. Fuelled cardio should be high intensity so that although you burn the fuel rather than fat in that session, at least the high intensity means your metabolism is boosted for hours afterwards turning your body into a fat burning furnace. So BBers on cuts usually either do AM Fasted Low Intensity or PM Fuelled High Intensity. Usually it's the former I think because it can be monitored and controlled a little better. Or even both infact.MrS said:I'm sorry, but there is some completely terrible advice in this thread.

No Muscle Milk a huge ripoff compared to On Whey. It's loaded with sugar too.Monster said:Is Muscle Milk worth it? Or should I save the money and go with the generic brands?
"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.
Uh? Original Muscle Milk has 6g of sugar per serving (1 scoop) and Muscle Milk Light has 2g per serving...Nip/Tuck said:No Muscle Milk a huge ripoff compared to On Whey. It's loaded with sugar too.
Wow really? Too bad they don't sell the "original" anymore. On Whey has less calories per serving, less fat but more protein... AND IT COSTS LESS. Do the math? Which one do you think is better?HandyAndy said:Uh? Original Muscle Milk has 6g of sugar per serving (1 scoop) and Muscle Milk Light has 2g per serving...

The only thing you really need to remember and be conscious of while consuming dietary fats is balance. Balance saturated(animal), monounsaturated(olive oil, etc) and polyunsaturated(fish oil, flax oil, etc).
Aside from that, there is no problem with fat. If you claim that 'fat is bad for you', support it with evidence or else I might delete your post(politely) as disinformation.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
