Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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

"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.

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.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
 

"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.

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...

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

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.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
