I have seen this many times, and it works, but the best “magnet” I have ever seen, was a cockatoo. Women would runto/flock around this guy. It was truly epic from a man’s perspective.

Do you think it would work if I just get a cockatoo t-shirt?
No. It has say, “Hey pretty lady” or something of that nature, and raise the feathers on his head in a mohawk. The damn bird was smart, had quite a vocabulary.

No excuses. You have an adorable magnet.
Looks like I’ll be moving away from my home gym for a period of time. Now I have to determine if I want to A) swing by the house it’ll be stored at 3-4 times a week to lift, or B) join a gym until we find a new house. There’s a couple really well equipped places around here that are tempting.
Ok, I got some confessions.
I grew up in southern California in the 90s, so this means I’ve been listening to Green Day for about 25 years. I confess that I bought their new album in the hopes it would serve as gym music. It’s…ok. It’s 26 minutes long, so that means playing it 3 times if I wanna get in a whole workout. I think there’s 3 confessions there.
I confess my pre-trainnig meal today is a 1lb ribeye steak and 2 cherry poptarts.
I confess that, like a true bad influence, I got my kid playing DnD. They roll better than I ever have in my life. In my kid’s attempt to hire mercenaries from a local rough and tumble tavern, they rolled a natural 20, and now has 2 “volunteer mercenaries”, working free of charge. That’s not even how any of this works.
I also confess that every single workout that’s approaching is “the one” I don’t want to do. I haven’t liked training for a long time, but now it’s really showing through.
And not quite a confession, but I’m 200 pages into David Goggins “Can’t Hurt Me” book. Highly recommend, but dude had an AWFUL childhood, and it was tough just reading about it in the first 100 pages.

Instead of the T shirt just try asking the women if that would like a cock-or-two ! 50/50 chance you get laid or maybe arrested.

Got to work a little late this morning. I am blaming the fact I sat on the toilet for much longer than usual. This was in part due to the amount of food I ate yesterday but more so it was because my legs and glutes were so sore, once I managed to sit down I was to scared to move or try to get up again !!

Is it motivational, or just interesting? Is the message generalizable to pretty much anyone, or is it more geared to hyper-manly types?
My issue is I don’t tend to benefit much from external motivation in the first place to find many things “motivating” when I read/watch them, although I will say I started kicking around the idea of going form a half marathon to a full as I was reading it. I more appreciate how much I share David’s mentality. It’s nice to share companionship there. It was a similar thing for me reading Jon Andersen’s book.
Reading the reviews, the message gets lost to folks who have zero tolerance for profanity. Having read Dick Marcinko’s “Rouge Warrior” and growing up in San Diego, I’m not shocked to find out that a Navy SEAL swears, so it doesn’t really phase me. He’s definitely trying to appeal to a wide audience with it, and ends every chapter with a section on how to apply the lesson directly (put post-it notes around your mirror, write out your flaws, etc). It actually talks about tagging the posts on social media, which I GOTTA assume is the work of a ghost writer, as it’s so completely out of character for the rest of the book, but most likely helps with that mass appeal.
So, in my case, I’m more reading it because he’s a fascinating cat that I came into the book already agreeing with. I’ve seen a lot of people say that got motivated from it though, so I imagine it’s got a wide appeal.

A little update on my calculus odissey.
I just got done with the spoken part and it went pretty well, to the point that my 19/30 increased to 24/30.
So my final score is 24. That’s something I can accept. I’m finally at peace with myself again.

And now you’ve survived one of your first “adult” panic episodes. Hopefully, you now realize that you stressed out for no good reason and you can stay a little more calm next time.
Nice work on finishing strong.
I’m not willing to risk a woman asking for “two”. Are you prepared to back up your offer? Too risky.
