"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.

Question About Running

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I know it helps you lose weight.
False.

Running will increase your heart rate, strengthen your heart and lungs, and burn calories. Calorie deficit will create weight loss, and running will enhance a calorie deficit. Running itself will not help you lose weight.

High intensity running will promote fat loss while retaining muscle.

Low intensity or steady state cardio will promote calorie burning but will also allow for muscle loss.

Read up on HIIT and steady state cardio on the boards. There's a good discussion of it in the CUTTING GUIDE.

Sorry man. I'm no expert. I just wanted to get some info for you. Do that HIT stuff semag is talking about.
Its all good AFK Protector, I thank both of you guys for the info.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Ha ha ha... ok, in a very technical sense, you're right bud :D

However, what I was saying is that you shouldn't do what most of america does and think that running is THE way to lose weight. The calories you'll burn from running aren't THAT big, and you have to have a diet to back it up.

You're right AFK, it does work, but I was trying to impart the danger in thinking that "oh, if I run, I can eat whatever the hell I want."

I know, cause I thought that way for a while, and it doesn't help ;)

Running (as in jogging) will destroy your knees! I will occasionaly do sprints up hills if I'm not in the mood to hit the heavy bag or shadow box. Other than that, I refuse to run!

Just like when lifting weights, if you use proper form while running, your knee's won't be destroyed.

What exactly does running do to your body?
It also strenghtens your lungs. Im an asthmatic and I havent had any problems for the past 3 years since I started running.
 

"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.

sorry but if you thinking about boxing, youre getting nowhere if you dont run or jump rope which also may damage your knees if not done properly. wthout running or jumping rope you might get maybe through 3 or 4 rounds.
