"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Now, I think we all know there are those elastic bands around, ranging in price and quality from 7-220$. I'd like your opinions on their effectiveness and whether they are better/worse than free weights/home gym-type systems.

Not those cheapo bands either, I mean the TO set in Bodylastics (I won't put links because they are easy to google and I don't want to spam) and the TRX suspension training (AKA glorified cargo straps.) vs a weight system.

Since both are relatively cheap, I want to limit the price of the weights to compare to to $1250 USD. (Bodylastic is about 100$ for most expensive set, TRX about 220$, goes up.)
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

The only advantage elastics/resistance bands have is their light weight and portability. You can pack them in a suit case or toss them in the trunk of your car when travelling, which isnt as easy with weights. Other than that, they are equal.

but they seem so much cheaper... i'll take the bands.

EDIT: I'm going to buy them soon, so if anyone has an opinion, I'd really appreciate it.

just make sure they are of good quality, the ones i got at a discount were ineffective and thus $30 down the drain.

I like the bands for the stretching/resistance style exercises. I have also gotten it couple of months ago. But I want to say that You will make more survey for the good quality after You will get it as well.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Both elastic resistance and free-weight resistance, such as barbells and dumbbells, have several similar properties, both provide some form of resistance, both allow a free range of motion, both allow variable speed of movement, and both allow progressive resistance.
