"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.

I just read the cutting up thread is says that cardio isnt that important to lose weight but my trainer said if I want to lose 25kg(approx 60lbs) he said that cardio is the most important thing, I should do 75% cardio 25% muscle so who's right my trainer or Diesel?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

both, it's really the person and not the instruction they give you
but if I had to choose, I'd say DIESEL, it's what you eat that makes you, not what you do (yes, I was stupid that I've done over 2000 pushup but... hey, I thought it gave me strength)

Your trainer is right - except you're going to lose a ton of mass.

I'm right too.. except I'm MORE RIGHT (if that's gramatically correct) b/c at least with my method you'll still burn the fat but keep most of the mass.

If you need to lose 60 lbs, I guarantee you that you need cardio training. Your lungs and heart could use the exercise. One thing bodybuilders forget sometimes is that looking muscular isn't all there is to fitness..

I haven't found either straight cardio or straight diet any better than the other for maintaining muscle mass. Cardio eats away at my legs a little more, but dieting makes me feel lousier. You should mix your trainer's advice with a clean diet.

Big Forearms,
Totally agree,
This is a health and fitness forum not a body building forum.
I personally dont want " big muscles",
but i want what i've got to be defined, as they are,
just my preference, I'm not denigrating anyone here.
Regards
C

Whatever you chose to do. 15, 30, 45 min, or even an hour of cardio.....Please do strength training also. I know a lot of people who lost weight by doing just cardio and they look like ****. I don't mean that they don't look cut, I mean they look like ****!

I know you plan to but please do strength training also, and it will help you burn more calories.
