"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.

I've found that this really helps to keep the weight down and trip fat and move closer to my goal of toned abs. Just thought I'd pass this along to any guys like me who have a slow metabolism and constantly have to fight fat off.

Hope if works for you too.
 

"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.

Any time of day? I read that it's good in the morning when you first wake up and before you eat, to do some low-intensity cardio, but that's about it.

Well the morning is the only time you should have an empty stomach

Right. I'll assume he meant the morning-cardio then.

Morning cardio + empty stomach has been proven to be 3x more effective at burning fat than done at another time in the day.
 

"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.

What is an example of Morning Cardio? I thought it was a good idea to always eat something before working out...or is this more along the lines of running/walking or something before you eat breakfast, then going to the gym a little later.

Example:

-45 minutes on a treadmill, fast walk(4-5), at a 5.0% incline.

-30 minutes on an eliptical, moderate pace, moderate intensity

-30 minutes on a rowing machine, moderate pace, light intensity

-45 minute bike ride

If you're up above 30 minutes, keep the intensity low(no sprints, no running).

Thanks a lot man! I took my dog for a little walk/jog today. I don't know how long it was, but I think it was at least 1/2 mile. Whenever I go running/jogging it seems like a lot of phlem/thick saliva gets built up in my mouth & throat and I'm always trying to spit it out.
