"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.

maybe that's a stupid question but i want to know. my body's in a good workout mood in the middle of the day. that's the time when i'm at work of course. i'm considering working out really early in the morning around 5 or 6 am. (the evening time is usually too busy.) i'm wondering are there any dangers because the body's sleepy ? or is there some suggested time to be awake before workout ?
thanks, who knows and shares thoughts
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

As long as you are aware and you do your stretches to avoid injury, it doesn't really matter what time you work out. Generally if you workout early you have more energy throughout the day.

I know some guys on Iron Addicts have complained about working out in the morning and how they aren't as strong in the morning.

I have also read an article by a spinal expert who said you shouldn't workout until a few hours after waking up, as your risk of spinal injury is greater. (Something to do with the fluid leaving your discs/spine).

So the middle of the day or late evening it is!

Does this include running also? Should I not run in the morning?

I remember reading in a couple places that the body is physically strongest 4 and 11 hours after waking.. Something to consider for you.

On the other hand, if you do workouts like 95% of the population then go ahead and do it first thing in the morning. If you're into heavy lifting and are lifting up to and beyond 2x bodyweight, then I'd stick to the afternoon for a number of reasons, of which Quagmire pointed out.

I work out @ 6:15am, about an hour to an hour and a half after waking up. And, yes, I'm well above 2x bw for squats and deads. Whatever, I'm happy with my strength gains, no problems. I think people try to rationalize not working out in the morning cause they are L-A-Z-Y :) I used to work out at night...I can't imagine that now. After a full day's work, weights are the last thing I want to touch. The human body is quite adaptable. You will get used to the time of day you choose to lift as long as you stick with it.
