"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.

my only problem with rinsing with water is it drains much of the taste away, and the leaner the cut, the less taste there is already. i'd be interested in some math -- how much of the "cheapness" of fattier ground beef gets drained away when you drain off the fat?

i'd like to get guys here to focus on cooking chicken in interesting ways as their basic meat, and adding salmon, beef & pork as they can afford to.
Throttle - in the Idiot's Guide To Growth I'm working on, there's a nice google link with lots of info on reducing fat in ground beef. As for flavour, learn to love your seasonings! I make chili a lot. lol. :)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Re:

As I've mentioned before, get Dr Gregory Ellis Book on Diet Secrets. He's a doctor AS well as a long-time lifter. Now over 50, he's in diesel shape. Not bulky, but muscular. Also if you read books such as the Paleolithic diet, you'll see fat IS OK. When early explorers ate deer, it contains much fat which could not be easily removed.

Fat does not lead to GETTING FAT.

Extra calories (energy) = greater far.

Just like TONS of protein doesn't equal more muscle, it should comprise a large % of your diet, and then you ensure a large calorie base to gain mass.

Fats are required by the body...

[1] Either fat OR carbs can be the energy source. The body prefers fat as energy. The body COULD convert extra protein to sugar if it lacked carbs. The presence of FAT actually turns fat burning on. Too much carbs forces the body to burn that and store fat as fat. Rather, if you up the fat, down the carbs respectively, the body will, over time switch to burning fat instead of sugar as energy. THIS is why people crash. OR, they resort to eating carbs every few hours.

See, YOU should be able to subsist on alternating meals of FAT/PROTEIN and PROTEIN/CARB or something near that. Your energy levels SHOULD not fall just because you didn't eat any Carbs in awhile. THAT is an indication of SUGAR-ENERGY dependence. Most don't take it that way, though. It can also be indicative of a lack of water, so drink up. If you're feeding the body regularly it SHOULD be ok with energy WITHOUT needing a sugar injection. YOU should control when you have sugar.

[2] Fats CONTRIBUTE to hormone production. Without fats, men can see decreased levels of testosterone, as well as women. Some women on low fat diets see an INCREASE in weight, a decrease in sex drive, less healthy hair, less full breasts, etc, because fats contribute mightily to hormone production. You can't mimic these components; like amino acids, they're required AND they're unique.

The higher the games the better. 30 grams is difficult to consume, since whatever HAS fat is normally VERY dense. Almonds, oils, beef, meats, fish, even some protein powders will have 5-10 grams per serving. Even PB. To go so low as 30g means to UP the carbs OR the protein, but you're already consuming quite a bit of Protein, and we don't want to up the Carbs. So UP the fats. They'll leave you full feeling, yet not bloated.

I buy meatloaf, chili and sloppy joe packets. They usually have neglible carbs in them and i alternate between them each time i cook beef so i don't get sick of any flavor. I make like 4-6 lbs of beef at a time.

And the meatloaf i add 5 or 6 eggs to before i bake it.

"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.

I think I should just go out and kill my food from now on. Not have to worry about the "leanness" of a meat...

Especially at your weight, I think you're right on there.

Couldn't hurt to keep an eye on your vitals every once in a while via doctor's visit. Tell 'em you're doing some crazy ass workout schedule and worried your heart might explode.

"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.

been to a bar lately? plenty of big, slow women out there to hunt. can't promise they won't kill you, though. especially if you try to spear 'em in public.

It's dirty down south

You should move down here to rural southern Kentucky, plenty of things to shoot/spear/club and our winters are mild.

Ha ha, northerners, enjoy your months of snow :D

He's considered the world's best competitive eater.
He use to be 5'7" and weigh around a buck twenty.
He eats huge amounts of the worst foods possible (up to twenty pounds in one sitting).
Look at him now. He's in the 170's.

Lift big, eat HUGE.
wow, he IS huge :| quite impressive for a guy who eats 20 lbs of hot dogs competitively... anyone who doubts the power of eating tons to pack on muscle needs to look at those pics
 

"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.

The guy probably spends hours in the gym USING those calories he consumes.


Imagine what happens when he drops a log ???

I saw one documentary on him.
Some chef at a restuarant he was in (in Japan) wanted to see if he really was the world's best.

So the chef would whip up these nasty concoctions to serve him. Stuff like a gigantic bowl of noodles with a rediculous amount of chilli...really weird, gut churning stuff. He kept serving him all sorts of stuff. The chef said he ate around 22lbs of food or something like that.

I think he's also won a competition for eating brains too.

From wikipedia:

Physically Kobayashi has undergone drastic change from his earlier appearances on the competitive eating circuit (weighing in at a mere 110 lb in his beginning competitions and then 144 lb in later events.) This is due in large part to his more recent endeavors in weight training. By training with weights and working out Kobayashi has increased his metabolism, which in turn has helped him to burn more calories. This training is used by Kobayashi to maintain his overall health as well as helping him to elude excess calories from being stored as fat. Kobayashi's official web site gives his height as 5 feet 7 inches and his weight as 165 pounds, but in a June 29, 2006, entry on his blog, he says that his weight grew to over 196 pounds during 2006, still being under 10 percent bodyfat.
 

"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.
