"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 heard that long duration cardio like uphill walking at 3.5 for 45 can lower or not help the increase of testosterone. Is this true?
 

"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.

My casual understanding is that regular prolonged cardio sessions are not good for testosterone levels. A few 30 minute, moderate-intensity sessions a week arent going to turn you into a girl, though.

I've heard a lot of bodybuilders will do 35-45 minutes of low intensity cardio 5 or more times a week during cutting phases. Of course these guys have great cutting diets and are typically chemically enhanced. However I'd heard that moderate amounts of low intensity cardio is quite lipolytic and also spares muscle, when done in moderation and in combination with a strong diet.

I'll see what they have me do when I'm cutting.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

That is good to know, since I have continued with it since I started lifting. Although I have a long way to go.

Now I do no more than 30 - 45 minutes per session.

Depending on timing of my meals, I normally try to have a some whey protein before/after I do cardio workout, just to make sure any muscle breakdown is minimised.

I just cycled 500km in 4 days, with bags, in low gear. Is my testosterone gone now? :rolleyes:

Tried HIIT.. It's much less boring than just walking uphill, and HIIT burpees got me sweating from just the 4 minutes tabata.
I used to do routine 1 hour cardio. Testosterone was fine.
