Many careers, like mine, involve quite a lot of time sitting on your butt in an office. I am worried about the long term effects this will have on health. For instance will I get a big ass from sitting so much, or depressed? Sometimes I do feel depressed sitting in such cloistered environment, and I feel isolated. If I follow an exercise regimen after work like 30 minutes of cardio and wight lifting 4x a week will I stay OK? What do you guys do? Thanks.
"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.

"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.

Learn to exercise in your chair man! Get pumped, start head banging, just do random goofy things in your chair...
Your boss going to be pissed at you? Write an office memo that everybody should be doing the exact same excercises as you to stimulate blood flow to the brain!

After work, go work out, play a sport, do something; you only have to sit on your @ss 8 of the 24 hours in a day.
