"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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?
 

"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.

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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
