Well, which one? Muscle metabolizes fat, so it would aid in the process of losing weight when you decide to cut later. But I keep hearing people say you should cut first! What's your opinion?
"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.
What first? Cut or Bulk?

"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.

Depends on your body type. Are you fat or skinny?

I personally a bit chubby. But I'm asking this just as a general question for all the forum readers, however fat or skinny they may be.
Ok, youre chubby. So here are your options:
1) cut: this way you dont have to worry so much about your diet. You dont have any muscle to begin with, so you dont have to worry about losing it. You can also use this period to learn about diet and training. Once you are done cutting, you can bulk & cut effectively.
2) bulk: this way you are adding muscle, but you are also adding fat. Once you are done bulking, you will have to cut the fat that you gained while bulking plus the fat you had initially. Also, you have to actually pay attention while cutting, otherwise you will lose heaps of hard-earned muscle.
That's my take. If you have any good reasons to bulk first, please post them.

"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.
