"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.

It's not a great deal, however it's enough to prompt me to get rid of it.

I don't eat breakfast.. I wait till around 1.30pm & I will eat 3 boiled eggs as my first meal... From that point onwards I drink water or coffee.. around 7.30pm I will eat a larger meal.. Chicken breast & rice.. Cottage cheese & some salad.. alternatively.. Rump Steak, rice and Houmous.

I have one cheat night,. usually Friday night. Most of the time, my diet is pretty clean.
I've learned over the years that anyone who claims to eat chicken breast and rice as a regular staple is lying. That's the most boring diet I've ever heard of I'd literally kms. I won't judge you if you admitted to snacking or having more cheat meals than that.

Do you have problems with digestion? If you can rule out inflammation it sounds like it might be an epigenetic/metabolic problem. Honestly chicken is so damn overrated anyway man that stuff is pumped full of soy and hormones I wouldn't be surprised if it causes problems. Maybe try fish or grass fed beef instead.
 

"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.

Sorry man.. you caught me out.. I was lying..

What kinda loser lies about their staple diet.. Give a man a little credit.

I don't have time to list my entire damn weekly diet here on SS, but like most men who lift weights, chicken and rice is pretty much staple for us guys.

I'm not saying I eat chicken and rice 7 days a week, hell no... But yes chicken does make an appearance usually 4x a week.. I tend to eat fish alot too, and beef steak.

As for cheat meals.. I eat clean Monday to Friday & have a cheat meal Friday night..

Other than that diet is clean.

I have been training lifting weights for over twenty years, however I believe with age it becomes more difficult to keep the unwanted belly fat off.

Thanks for the tip though.

I mean I was kind of joking, but I suspect the chicken and rice staple is overrated. Why not try a radical elimination diet for a few months and see how you feel? When I did carnivore for 3 months I lost about 10 lbs of pure fat, especially subcutaneous belly/chest fat that I was previously unable to get rid of. Just something to think about.

If it were me, I would go with option two. I feel like getting rid of all belly fat is too tedious and cumbersome of a task to do. Aditionally, I think a some fat on the body is natural and I would much rather prefer that than just super shredded. I feel like it's very rare to enjoy life while staying with minial levels of fat.

Speaking of elimination diets this is a great book discussing it with great recipes:

Practical Paleo, 2nd Edition (Updated And Expanded): A Customized Approach to Health and a Whole-Foods Lifestyle https://a.co/d/1rFAqkT
 

"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.
