"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.

I know that orgasm lowers your testosterone levels. Would that affect a workout if you beat off too close to lifting?

I just rubbed one out and I'm going to the gym in like 10 minutes.
 

"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.

Jerking off KILLS my workout, or my motivation to do just about anything. There's a reason us men are notorious for conking out after blowing a load in a girl. Save the wanking for when you get done and do it to reward yourself for a hard, heavy workout.

Masturbating does not lower testosterone and neither does sex. That is just a huge myth.

A boxer, Chris Byrd, had his testosterone levels checked after sex, and they were actually slightly higher after sex.

Do not wank before a workout, and do not wank too soon after a workout.

Depends on what you call a workout...a study on marathon runners found that their performance was generally better if they had sex the night before the marathon :woo:
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

There's no right or wrong answer.

If rubbing one out alows you focus more when you hit the weights then i say spank away! If on the other hand you aren't as intense after blowing a load then refrain until after you've hit the gym.


The groggyness wears off quickly if you don't give in and sleep so that's not a factor and like they said, testosterone won't be effected.
