"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.

Hi everyone! I'm just wondering what are the best exercises/routines to reduce fat on your legs, especially your thighs/butt. Thank you!
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Thx Throttle those threads have been very helpful. Unfortunately, I am not able to visit a gym regularly, for now, so I will focus on fat loss. The link you provided lists four basic things I should be doing, but I have some questions:

1. Doing cardio 5 days/week. 45 minutes per day, HR at 75%.
Currently, I don't do any kind of exercise, so how do you suggest I go about this? Should I ease myself into it, gradually increasing the intensity/length of the cardio? Or should I just jump in, doing 45 min 5 days a week?


2. Eating 6 meals a day. Essentially meats and vegetables for the most part.
What about carbs? Wich ones are best/worst for fat loss? My main carb sources are white rice, white bread and cereals. Also, why do they warn against dairy products?

3. Weightlifting 3 days a week, focusing on compound lifts.

4. Getting 8-9hrs of sleep per night.
I think I've got this one covered. In fact, I think I may be overdoing it!! I usually am able to get 9-10 hours, so I think this isn't a problem.

By the way, I'm 21, weigh around 65kg/143 lb, and my height is around 1.67 cm (5'48''). Thanks a lot!!!
 

"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.

yikes...lots to work on here...

1. Doing cardio 5 days/week. 45 minutes per day, HR at 75%.
Currently, I don't do any kind of exercise, so how do you suggest I go about this? Should I ease myself into it, gradually increasing the intensity/length of the cardio? Or should I just jump in, doing 45 min 5 days a week?

ease into it, 5 days a week, don't worry about getting your heartrate way up at first, but set out a block of an hour a day that you'll be able to stick with. simply going for a walk every day is a good start.

2. Eating 6 meals a day. Essentially meats and vegetables for the most part.
What about carbs? Wich ones are best/worst for fat loss? My main carb sources are white rice, white bread and cereals. Also, why do they warn against dairy products?

all those carb sources are a problem for fat loss. replace white bread with 100% whole wheat, white rice with brown rice or veggies, and cereal with oatmeal. stay away from all carbs before bed (the harder you're working to lose weight, and the less active you are, the earlier in the day this cutoff needs to be)

better to get your carbs from veggies and to a lesser extent whole fruits when trying to lose bodyfat

dairy may increase bloating, esp. if you are lactose intolerant. many people are lactose intolerant and do not realize it.

3. Weightlifting 3 days a week, focusing on compound lifts.

this is quite important to make fat loss sustainable--think about how you might incorporate this in the near future. you can still carry around quite a bit of bodyfat but look & feel a whole lot better with a bit more beef on the frame. plus muscle burns more energy, making your cardio more effective in the long run.

By the way, I'm 21, weigh around 65kg/143 lb, and my height is around 1.67 cm (5'48''). Thanks a lot!!!
i think you mean 1.67 meters, 5.48 feet (appx 5'6")......

stair master, failing that, find steps, take the stairs instead of the lift, and do lots of cardio.
