"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.

"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.
I've stuck to my guns-Still no junk food. The only concession I've made is to eat some chocolate flavored protein bars. It's getting easier to pass up donuts and candies. I went to a meeting, and on each table they had put out a bunch of Snickers bars. I was totally hungry, but I held out.
I had my first Karate workout in 7 months yesterday. I felt totally rusty, but at least I'm moving with a Gi on again.
Been lifting a lot more : Mostly kettlebell stuff and bench presses along with pullups.
I'm doing hill sprints. There's a long hill close to my house and I did 5 uphill sprints. My body was heaving afterwards, but it felt good too.
179 today, but my pants are now looser.
Went to karate workout yesterday. Lifting and bagwork in a few hours. Karate again tomorrow. Knee is slowly getting stronger.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Still working out quite a bit in either Karate class or cardio kickboxing at the gym. My cardio shape is great...Again, just need to lose the fat around the middle.
After being given the OK to train again, I went to cardio kickboxing yesterday and my Karate workout today.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

a) weight naturally fluctuates throughout the day, due to fluid intake, about of food ingested, etc. If you do weigh yourself, it should be first thing in the morning right when you get up. I would do it once every 2-3 weeks MAX.
b) piggybacking on point a. Your weight is irrelevant, ESPECIALLY when your trying to drop body fat and put on muscle. Your body COMPOSITION is much more important. Measure inches; waist, chest, neck, thighs, arms, calves etc to see if your making progress. Lastly, definitely get your body fat taken every 10-14 days like clock-work.
I've never understood why the average joe is obsessed with seeing a number on a scale when their body composition is much more important. If you hit 160-165 and have no muscle on you, you'll look like a concentration camp victim at your height. Okay not completely, but close.
c) Your diet sucks.... sorry its the truth and I'm being honest to help you. Severely lacking in quality protein, lacking in good fats and to top it off you have no idea how many total calories your intaking.
Add to the fact that you seem to have weak will power, then punish your body by not eating for the rest of the day once you have a cookie or something you perceive as bad.
When your cutting if your diet is 95% in check and your consistent, a cookie here and there will not kill your diet. And the whole starving yourself routine is very catabolic to muscle mass and slowsssss down your metabolism.
d) As Fugly pointed out, you should get your diet in check. Look into carb cycling, re-feed days and get to it.
Sorry if this post came off as arse-wholish, I'm all about putting 100% effort toward your goal and you seem like your a good guy with the right intentions, but your half-arsssing it expecting different results. Not gonna happen.
You have made a journal, you want to do this in your mind, but you are weak willed right now.
Part of weak will comes from not planning out your diet. When you don't plan your diet, its a lot easier to make a bad choice.

No offense taken. I agree that one shouldn't obsess over bodyweight, but it's relevent in my case because I want to fight as a middleweight (160 lbs.) not as a small heavyweight. So the scale matters.Pimp-sicle said:One: Weighing yourself every couple days is absolutely pointless.

On a related matter, I might fight in the April tournament as opposed to October because of how my knee feels. I just don't see it being 100 % by early Oct. Nevertheless, I want to keep training at the same pace regardless.
"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've been working out on a regular basis. My diet has generally been good, although I have not been burning enough calories because I took a break from my boxing/cardio kickboxing gym because my knee has been acting up. I have been doing my regular Karate workouts at the dojo on a regular basis.
One thing I have increased is my weight training. I have muscles popping out everywhere now, and I get alot of compliments from women on my arms and chest.
I laid out alot by the pool this past Summer and I became very dark. I know it's terrible for my skin (I'm half Irish too), but I have to admit that a dark tan looks really good on me. I didn't however, let my face get as much Sun as my body.
I injured it somehow dancing at a club a few weeks back.....not ACL related, it just feels like there's some slight tendon damage....walking around is fine, but just going into a slight sqaut causes pain...
I did some heavy sparring last night and am now feeling a bruised rib....
October tourney is out...no way I'll be 100, or even 80 % for that....still will keep training however, despite the pops/pings occurring
Lifting is going good....
Broke my word....Different girls took me out for birthday dinners and I didn't feel like going low carb....or turning down cake.
Still gaining muscle and attending classes at the dojo.
Knee feels better than it did a few weeks ago.
I've been trying to improve my flexibility. Every day I lie on my back on the floor and put my legs up on the wall....
I slowly start to allow gravity to pull my legs apart and downward in a splits.
IT HURTS, but I'm seeing improvement.
I listen to the stereo as I do this and try to put up with the pain for the duration of the song I'm listening to.
"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.
