"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.

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

"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.

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
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
