"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.

Took a break from lifting... ready to start again.

"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.

you THINK you have high cholesterol or you actually do?

exercise, a high fibre diet, weight loss (if applicable), no refined carbs and low carbs in general, and at least a moderate fat intake will reduce your cholesterol.

get some bloodwork if you think your cholesterol is high

I find it highly unlikely that had anything to do with it, unless you have genetic cholesterol disorders. there's guys knocking back 2-3 dozen eggs a day and their cholesterol is in perfect order. the ingestion of dietary cholesterol should, if you are healthy, reduce your own levels or keep them the same at best.

what is your weight, bf% and daily diet and how often do you exercise.

I just had a conversation with a coworker who kept saying that eating the way I do (read high fat/protein) can't be good for me (read high cholesterol). With all that I've learned here I tried to explain to them that eating high cholesterol doesn't directly corrolate to someone having high cholesterol (as thats mostly genetic) well they wouldn't have it.

Then it occured to me I've never been tested.. so I called and made an apt for bloodwork next thursday with my doc to get it checked as I've been eating between 9-16 eggs per day since Jan of this year.

I can't wait to look at my numbers so I can throw it in the face of my coworker! :D
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

My cholesterol levels came back perfect and I was on 12 to 24 eggs a day for a year.

I don't get the driving need for people to convince others of things.

I have a number of co-workers now that try to lecture me about how i eat. So far i'm going to have a heart attack and my kidneys will shut down. It takes minutes of looking any of this stuff up but they will want to argue anything without the slightest bit of knowledge. Start spewing stuff out like "insulin sensitivity" while they stare at you stupidly, and you'll wonder why you talk to them at all if they know next to nothing. Then they will start a story abotu someone or other they know that had all kinds of problems with something or other, when that person really didn't do what they said they did or the story teller is just making it up in order to be right.

I don't talk to my mechanic about composing classical music, so i don't know why you would want to talk to average frumpy dude about healthful diet.

Ok... been feeding myself heavy amounts of whey protein, eggs, and I had a nice piece of steak for lunch.

I plan to lift some heavy weights tonight. Yay or nay?

Suggestions please?

Why wouldn't you lift weights tonight?

Or do you mean suggestions on a routine?
 

"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.

Christ, I'm so out of shape. Last summer, cut as a mothasucka... now, spare tires galore.

Did lift heavy weights, instead my normal weights (stuff I can do 3x10 reps with)

Did I mention that I'm freakn out of shape.. damn when you get old, it takes nothing to put you out of shape.
