"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'm on a limited budget so i can't go to gym as often as i would like.
I can only manage to afford to go 2 the gym 2 days a week, so would 2 hours or longer workouts been fine or are they simply to much?
 

"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'm not sure the logic behind it is really appropriate with weight training, in the same way a single mega 6 hour workout a week wouldn't do a whole lot of good for you. Consider investing in some cheap home equipment like a pull up bar or a cheap set of dumbells.

They don't have gym subscriptions by you? Most places offer monthly, yearly subscriptions and then you can use the gym as much as you like.

Yes, you can do a two day split. That would be fine. I wouldn't trade a gym for a couple dumbbells and pullup bar. You won't get as good results with that. There are other options though, but I'd just do the gym

Two days are fine. They are actually better for some, and most people can progress on them.

Make sure to do free weights at the gym if you didn't know that already. Squats/deadlifts/bench/rows/chinups etc...

I was going to link to a two day on IA's but I can't get onto the site. Maybe later...

"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.

Wow, i sent this post 2 years ago, how times change

Thanks for the advice everyone anyways.
Nowadays if i can't train at gym i just train at home.

Although i have to say, it can be very challenging to train at home without some of the gym machines
