"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.

It is bound to have something that interests you, guys. From losing weight really quickly and easily, to gaining muscle the same way, to giving a woman wild cums, and on and on. Big, hardback book, order it thru your local library's INTERLIBRARY BOOK LOAN SYSTEM
 

"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.

Its about 25% accurate and 75% inaccurate.

Read it with a mouthful of salt.

that's easy to SAY. How about you back up your mouth with some stuff that you can prove is inaccurate, like you actually KNOW anything?

I too would like to know what is inaccurate, at least pertaining to the diet and muscle building chapters. I have followed his advice with similar results.

Wrongo, some, who have the necssary DISCIPLINE, can do it. Others, lacking that same discipline, want to blame the messenger.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Anybody who has actually paid their dues in the gym understands that everyone who builds a great body through hard work (rather than winning the genetic lottery or pharmaceutical assistance), follows the same principles.



I was intruiged by some of his methods and ideas, and respect his meticulous nature.

ie. multiple methods of adipose % testing.
ie. taking pics of your food instead of writing it, if you're the lazy type.
ie. close monitoring of bloodwork.

But no one builds muscle that fast. I do not have the book infront of me so I can't reference it. I just remember him mentioning building 34lbs of muscle in just a few weeks. (or something equally absurd that no one else can replicate).



I don't discount him entirely because he is a great guinnea pig, therefore good source of non-scientific but greater-than-anecdotal evidence.



But if you want to only spend 4hrs a month doing exercise, and hoping to build an admirable physique ...

Then sorry you are going to be disappointed 100 times out of 100.

What are your lifts?

Bodyfat percentage?

Current status in relative to your goals?



How can you claim he knows what he's talking about? I'm not saying he doesn't, but you are adament that his method works. How are you so sure?

Not saying you're wrong. Theres so much variation in this world that almost anything is possible. But after spending 6+ years doing various types of physical training, I'm somewhat skeptical.

This thread should be in H&F anyways ... Moved.

I've read the book. He has some mistakes in there of course, but I also follow his blog and he addresses them. His strength training method is definitely better than the conventional stuff. He uses a slow burn protocol, similar to a body by science routine.

Science > personal experience

I'm not addressing anyone personally here, this is just my take on this topic. Conventional wisdom says no one can lose fat and gain muscle quickly. That's true following the conventional wisdom method of doing so.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Albert Einstein

His strength training method is in no way better than the conventional. Very few people respond to such minimal training without anabolic aids. When it comes to supplements etc then yes science>experience but with regards to weight training experience>science.
Goundra, yes he puts in a few pictures of his experience which frankly don't look like the same person. Nothing is verified, no word on whether anabolics are used etc. A lot of this book is bull****.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
