"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.

Six reasons why aerobic work is counterproductive

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

The link works. But it sounds like complete bull**** to me.

it does sound like he made it up. there's no scientific evidence, even if the statements are believable.

actually they all are ridiculous.

1) aerobic exercise cannot plateau because there is nothing gained from it, only calories burnt / fat loss. it is impossible for your body to not be burning calories from any exercise.
2) if aerobic exercise made you slower, then how do sports which require speed, football, rugby, american football, players maintain their speed.
3) age determines metabolism, not the other way round
4) this is from physical stress, if you are physically stressed you are pushing too hard.
5) exercise releases endorphins which makes you feel happy. if you are feeling stressed from exercise, you are pushing yourself too hard.
6) ...? random, wheres the proof
 

"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.

Charles Poliquin is known for having come up with complete bullsh*t in the past. For example, he claimed that Ben Johnson squatted 3RM before his race in Seoul. The problem is that there were no weights in the warm up area in Seoul.

one problem with that thesis, poliquin didn't write the article. Next!

any exercise of any type, if it sufficiently stimulates the appetite, will cause the exerciser to eat more calories than burned, especially if the individual's diet is otherwise already out of control.

2) if aerobic exercise made you slower, then how do sports which require speed, football, rugby, american football, players maintain their speed.
each of these involves much more interval running than continuous distance running, particularly american football. even a long run or pass play's length is measured seconds and is by definition nearly always less than 100 yards.

3) age determines metabolism, not the other way round
age does not determine metabolism. aging (measured in years) generally contributes to a slower metabolism unless you take steps to counter this. aging (measured in damage to the body) accumulates from a number of different factors. he is speculatively proposing that oxidation from free radicals is a factor in this. he's hardly the only person to suggest this.

4) this is from physical stress, if you are physically stressed you are pushing too hard.
exactly. but can any of us, a priori, say how much is "too hard"? clearly, a posteriori, if you're working hard & not seeing results, you're probably working too hard ("overtraining"). but you may be working too hard relative to some other factor (say, caloric intake).

5) exercise releases endorphins which makes you feel happy. if you are feeling stressed from exercise, you are pushing yourself too hard.
if exercise always made people happy, everyone would exercise. does that mean that most people who exercise (and eventually quit) are (were) pushing themselves too hard?

6) ...? random, wheres the proof
try the interval training he describes in "Part 2"...that will be your proof. plenty of evidence supports the idea that interval training is superior to steady state cardio.

Sports that are performed in intervals should be trained with intervals.

Training your one mile run is stupid if you are training for football.
 

"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.

One mile run isn't strictly aerobic if you do in 5 minutes, mrRuckus.
Now your 5km time, sure.

Aerobic work isn't optimal, but it's not bad. Think of nearly all the old school boxers, and hell, half of todays at least - all the greats used to go for long early morning runs, which is "bad" for all sorts of reasons but it worked for them, so!
