"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I was talking to a friend about working out and stuff..and he asked me if I was using any supplements because his friend had told him they often put steroids in them even if it doesnt say that(which I kinda doubt, but whateva). But anyways I was trying to explain to him that all Im doing is eating enough protein and working out properly and that a couple of other guys who we know whove been taking steroids for quite some time hardly see any results from it, because steroids "only" help you recover faster, but if you still eat like a fool and work out wrong steroids wont make you put on 50lbs of muscle in a couple of days which some ppl think. I also explained to him that creatin (which im not taking at the moment because I wanna see if it did help me icnrease strength faster or not) didnt make u put on mad pounds of muscle either and that there were no studies showing that it was harmful in any way (though there havent been any long-term studies right?)...

Anyways Im just wondering if I was right when I said that steroids make your body recover faster and thats it? (plus the downsides of course..)

P.S.: Theres no way Im gonna start taking any steroids, actually I hardly wanna put on any morem ass and even if I couldnt Id be fine.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

well no, companies are not dumping steroids into supplements, and you cant really talk about steroids like they are all the same. They are chemically similar but not identical and do not all have the same positive and/or negative impacts on the body. For example , testosterone (above approx 200 mg) can decrease collagen synthesis, which drugs like deca and hGH increase it.
 

"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.

they didnt see results because they didnt do them right. i dont use them, i can put on weight exceptionally easy and take it off jsut as easy. i can honestly gain 10 lbs in a week, you just have to have the proper diet, (which is really force feed yourself all day).

I was thinking this stuff was nothing but bull****, too, but I didnt really know what steroids cost, but if you guys tell me they are pretty expensive I do see how this is nothing but bull**** now and doesnt need any further explaining..

10lbs in a week should be easily possible. If you're very dehydrated, weigh yourself in the morning on an empty stomach on monday, eat for a week without taking a s**t and then weigh yourself on sunday evening ;) . But I guess you couldnt even gain 10lbs of muscle and fat combined in 1 week no matter how much you eat (considering you're a human and thus cannot eat around 13,000 calories a day).:)
 

"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.

Consider how much time it'd take you to gain 10lbs of fat (no muscle), JUST BY EATING AND SITTING AROUND .. much longer than a week.

That's all water weight my friend.

I've dropped 8 lbs. in 2 days to make weight when I used to box as an amateur, and lost another 3-4 lbs. after 3 rounds of fighting.

And it all came back within a few days.
