"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.

Warrior Vs Paleo Diet

"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.

i just wanted to know which one works better for most of us who are cutting fat. i lost 4 kilos in 2 months (from 81 kg to 77 ), but i need to lose 4 more kilos to achieve my ideal weight (my height is 1,72 meters ) without eating too much of the wrong foods.

i cut with cakes.7up,coke, most sodas (i only drink a lipton ice tea or a red bull when i need some extra energy and of course water ) i cut with fried food also, and sausages, pork meat, etc.

i eat mostly vegetables, lots of spinach, fish ( mostly grilled salmon, sardine and tuna fish, i cant find tuna in water so i eat the in oil one, but i get rid of the oil,lean meats, grilled too.

i dont eat too much fruits, mostly bananas before my workout. also cereals (muesli) with milk when i wake up.

please add here some more things i could add to my diet, frankly i dont trust those diets but maybe im being zealous.

not familiar with the details of either diet (I've known so many fad diets it gets boring to look into the workings of each) but unless I'm mistaken they're based around meats, veg, fruit and nuts with a minimum of grains and such. if so then they're great for fat burning if the quantities are correct (you'd need to eat below maintainance obviously) but not very good at all for keeping or building muscle.

however, add in some carbs around your workouts (pre and post) and maybe a recarb day 1-2 times a week and it should work fine.

again, don't expect to gain a whole lot of muscle but if weightloss is your primary goal then this sort of diet is among the best options. a pure ketogenic diet is ideal to lose weight but isn't compatible with heavy training (or any training really).

The paleo diet looks pretty good. The warrior diet is absolutely retarded. If you're going for one of the other, pick the paleo.

The warrior diet, for those unfamiliar, revolves around eating minimally during the day, and eating one massive meal at night. There's no scientific reason why it should work, and it would be impossible to bulk on, not to mention shut down the metabolism.
 

"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.

Cutting out sugar and refined carbs accounts for much of both diet's benefits.
so just a fancy way of saying 'eating clean' then?
