"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"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.

neither.

pumping weights = higher testosterone = higher sex drive, so I don't know why it's so low.

I think it is because you may be "overtraining". Now I'm usually not one to blame anything on overtraining, I've done some ridiculously high volume arnold like routines and made gains, but it sounds like this could be the cause in your case.


To fix your sex drive there are a few things you could take. All these are OTC.
Arginine Take a few grams a day, at least 3 or so, this helps the blood flow to the penis
Yohimbe Take no more than 40mg of yohimbine, yohimbine is the alkaloid found in yohimbe which will help get blood flow to the penis, try to buy something that says how much yohimbine is actually converted from the yohimbe
Horny Goat Weed(DON'T buy the stuff at walmart) This stuff works well also, just take the recommended dosage
Zinc Take no more than 100mg a day, this also helps increase the blood flow

Post your current routine. Also how many hours of sleep are you getting a night?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

This is true, to be more specific squats and other exercises that work the quadricep muscles help in increasing blood flow to the penis. This is why I am lead to believe that your dysfunction is because of overtraining.

Fitness Guy ... my guess would be that it's because he's just started. It can take your body a couple of weeks to adjust, can it not?

It is really dependant on the routine, there are so many ways to train, I couldn't say without seeing the exact routine. Also sleep is a huge factor, especially when training with weights. I really think it's because he isn't getting enough rest.

i'll tell you this.

rest harder than you workout.

my min hours of sleep are like 10 hours, that's when i'm not working out. if i get like 8 hours sleep i'll be sleepy for the rest of the day and i can't concentrate in school.

I think it is overworking, because I've been exhausted lately despite getting 8+ hours of sleep.

I've been working out for more than a couple of weeks so I don't think it's just taking time to adjust.
 

"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.

that's happened to me before. I trained to much, and my sex drive went down hill. I took some time off to let my body catch up, and I got horny again.

I also noticed that when im eating right, my sex drive stays up. If I don't eat right when im working out, then my body uses all its energy on rebuilding muscles and not make love juice.
