"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.

I am sick of my gut. So I have decided to bust my ass for the next 30 days in attempt to remove my gut and get my body to look good. I am going to show before and after pictures and come into this thread to share any progress or as an oulet for late night food cravings. This is what I look like now:



As you can see, I am not over weight or anything, just an ugly fat gut. In 30 days I will post new pics of what I look like. I am determined to do this. If I have any success at all, I'll post what exercises I did, food I ate...etc...

Thanks for the support guys. And if anyone wants to yell at me like a drill sargent, go right ahead. I need all of the inspiration as possible. :trouble:

Lets go! :rockon:
 

"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.

YAY!!!

That is a horrible "look at me I'm pregnant" gut!!!

Good luck on your cause, I was thinking the exact same thing last night... What would happen if everyday somebody took a picture of themselves and made a flash video of their body progressively getting fittern and fitter.

Like 30 days of pictures, 3 different angles. 90 different pictures. Take pictures of yourself working out. Take a picture of different muscles, and of your face... and just make one of those home videos.

That's not a fat gut, that's just a weak gut... I'm sure there are a lot of guys on here who could show you a picture of a truly fat gut. I can tell that yours is just being pushed out for dramatic effect;)

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Dude, good luck but don't expect much improvement in 30 days. I order to see any really measurable progress it'll probably take you around 3 months. Long term change can take a year or more.

That isn't fat, man. Cardio won't make it go away, I can tell you since I have your same exact problem. It's mostly due to food allergies you don't even know. When I was 10-yrs-old, I was severely underweight (in relation to my height and bodyframe, I should have weighed 30 lbs more than I did), yet my gut was even bigger than yours.

Now, it's not as big as back then, but it's really awkward. Sometimes, I have an awesome 8-pack, then a couple of hours ago, it looks like I'm pregnant.

If somebody knows how to solve this, please post.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I second this. You may lose some water weight in 30 days, but don't expect to drop much fat. Plus, if you're trying an intense 30 day crash diet, you will probably end up burning more muscle and actually gain more fat. Crash diets send your body into an emergency mode and cause it to store fat.

Instead of crash diets and fitness phases, you should be looking to alter your lifestyle to incorporate exercise and start to drop all the unhealthy foods you've been eating/drinking. It takes time, but it's easier to implement and has a much higher success rate.

That vid. is mad motivating.

... and good luck on the 30day diet.
Bottom line... just do your best.
You'll feel and see a difference in the 30.
Then just keep on rollin'
 

"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.

I don't know for sure either but if Adone's theory is correct, that may very well be a plausible explanation. Certain food allergies do cause excessive bloating and discomfort. That could explain everything.

Exactly. I also noticed that after doing heavy exercise/cardio and drinking water, the gut becomes huge. I think bloating plays a big role into this discomfort.

Good on you man, great to see you take charge of what you want.

Once the 30 days are done, go another 30 :p
