"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.

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.)
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
