"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.

Just a quick question. Will smoking in some way impede one's bulking/cutting plans?
 

"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.

Depends on how much you eat. Smoking is an appetite suppresant I believe.

Smoking will shorten your breath. Since you'll be bulking you'll most likely not be doing cardio.

Since you won't be doing cardio, and thus not being in "perfect" shape (as far as your lungs go), and you'll be smoking...

the second you have to give a long run for some reason you'll be fvcked.

And for cutting, you won't be able to run/jump/swim as much.

Of course this is about frequent smokers.

I never really knew that much about the dangers of smoking. (Didn't listen to my mom's speeches.)

So casual smoking (like say, half a dozen a week or so) won't really hurt that much, aye?
 

"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.

Half a dozen a week isn't that bad...but then it'll turn into 7-9 per week, then it'll be 12 a week. I'd recommend quitting smoking first before you do any type of exercise. Besides, smoking is bad for your health and many girls don't like it.

The only problem with smoking is addiction.

Quit while you're ahead or you'll find yourself smelling like smoke all the time and spending money you could be spending on someting else.

If your still social smoking... don't go for like 3 a night or something, it really ****s you up...

My performence during cardio (running) decreased a little today because of that. So i'ma quit.
