"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.

The BCAAs in the whey trigger an insulin response which I guess then leads to you going hypoglycaemic for a while ---> headache.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Probably. But I've tried plenty of flax meal in my shake. Seems to prevent tihs. Slower absorbtion since flax is full of fiber.

Yeah that's one way you can prevent it. I just have a shake with a meal instead of on its own. Making a switch to egg white powder now though.

Yeah, I'm thinking of switching to egg white powder now as well. Iron Addict recommends it over whey now (tho maybe not PWO). The only problem I can imagine is that I'd need to find something to mix up with it, so the shakes have a flavour. Or is there some egg white protein powders that come with flavourings in mate?

Yeah some other guys from IA's boards have moved or are moving over to egg protein too. Another problem with egg protein is the higher price. I'll be sticking to whey PWO.

The stuff I'm getting is from myprotein.co.uk and is unflavoured, though they can flavour + sweeten it for you at extra cost. You could always just throw in a spoonful of cocoa powder. It always masks the taste of whey nicely. Alternatively you could just man up and down the ***** :whistle: It'll put hairs on your chest.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

uh..dood..not to be mean or anything but stop what you are doing ASAP because it's obviously NOT working.Trust me, I been there.You are lucky you have zero stretch marks because I have many and it's from bulking up in a desperate attempt to make weight no matter what the cost when I was younger.I have bulked up,stripped down and bulked up,been really yolked been super strong,now I am doing it the right way.I can honestly say that you would do alot better on the push ups program I have been prescribing here on the forums.If you have been doing all that for 4 months and have seen no visible results..theres is something seriously wrong going on.
Think about it..you have been doing everything right..then why has the right results have not come about??? ANYONE thats busting their azz working out and eating right,giving that they have low bodyfat levels deserves to be able to take their shirt off and be completly proud of their body and level of development..if you're not making gains or have an appretiatable ammount of mass..you're wasting time.Period.

Compare the first picture (Jan) to the April 10th picture. Seems to me that your waist is much smaller


However, your routine leaves much to be desired.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

So you're telling me that if he liked using really light weights, but wanted to pack on some serious mass, that it's okay, because after all, he likes lifting light...

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I see improvement. You appear broader in the shoulders and you appear to have loss a bit around your waist.

You do lack in your pec's this just might be your weak part and good to find it out early so you can do some extra sets or reps or go heavy to build them up.

If I were you I'd scrap that ENTIRE ROUTINE..It's worthless, you lost weight but you gained no muscles..not even tone. Do what you want though, you read enough you seem to know what you are doing so go for it.
Personaly you are working out too much and too many excersizes just for chest,your split is too long and the rest periods are out of whack,you are training like a veteren when you should be training like a begginner.
You're doing something seriously wrong ,either it's diet or your workout.
 

"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.
