Hi Back in the Game,
At least when I fail to make my point I don't insult people,manners cost nothing!
At least when I fail to make my point I don't insult people,manners cost nothing!
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
Take a break man, you're a moderator. Hold yourself to a better standard.I just did but you keep not comprehending, ignoring and glossing over it.
Perhaps I need to write it in Dutch since your ability to comprehend English seems sorely lacking.
Questioning the party line on Climate Change among those with Green leanings is similar to pointing out to card-carrying Red Pillers that the so-called crisis of modern males isn't especially modernTake a break man, you're a moderator. Hold yourself to a better standard.
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.
Just be glad the US saved you and the rest of Europe's asses so that you all aren't German these days.Scarra is Dutch? And here I thought I was the only Dutchman here.
First let's clarify. There was no attack, just a statement of historical fact. An attack would have been something personal.Maybe you should open a history book that goes back a little further than 1940. And preferably one that wasn't written by Americans.
I agree with @The Duke here.
Just to be clear, @BackInTheGame78 , I do hold moderators to a higher standard, so I have reported your asinine comment for your unwarranted ad hominem attack and for derailing the thread.
Let's see if the rest of your moderator friends agree with your behaviour in this thread.
It is delicious, but you should look up what science has to say about soy in menSoy milk is delicious. No cap.
I'm all for scientific studies, I've just been alive long enough to know that the "science" is often wrong.don't know what co vid is
oh so for you gender feelings>biology , no science for you, just lop off the huevos. no judge ment here.
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.
Maybe, if your goal is to be soft your entire life.Carbs should unquestionably be your main source of sustenance. This has also been studied at length.
Enlighten me.It is delicious, but you should look up what science has to say about soy in men
Lol.Calories in, calories out is ultimately true....
The reason you want to limit carbs is because they are the worst for satiation.
If you're trying to limit your calorie intake, carbs make it difficult because you will feel hungry sooner
Vegetarians and vegans also have lower BMI, rates of obesity, and diabetes, and the average veggie diet is about 70-80% carbohydrates.Maybe, if your goal is to be soft your entire life.
Edit - everyone needs carbs, but I wouldn't make them the bulk of your calorie intake, except on workout days.
You should try to limit carbs most of the time
2nd edit - google insulin response in your body. You'll find that carbs are broken down faster than fats or protein.
There's a reason meat and veggies leave you feeling full, where as pasta and rice will make you feel bloated, followed by an insatiable hunger.
You can do a google search for how soy affects men.Enlighten me.
Lol.
Vegetarians and vegans also have lower BMI, rates of obesity, and diabetes, and the average veggie diet is about 70-80% carbohydrates.
Soy is health promoting. High in protein, fiber, and PUFAs.You can do a google search for how soy affects men.
Don't laugh at me like you know what you're talking about.
Vegetarians and vegans look like they're dying, so I reckon that is science enough. Animal protein might be important?
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Meh...when you spend a decade actually doing all that stuff that you are researching and finding it out in your own body you'll find that much of it is highly individual dependant and what works for one person doesn't work well for another.Calories in, calories out is ultimately true....

Your best bet for losing weight is a combination of intermittent fasting, plenty of lean meats and veggies.
Science backs me up. I'm just trying to save you some time. I spent a decade researching this stuff
@EyeBRollin
I know i avoid soy. Google itMeh...when you spend a decade actually doing all that stuff that you are researching and finding it out in your own body you'll find that much of it is highly individual dependant and what works for one person doesn't work well for another.
I do also unless it's fermented.I know i avoid soy. Google it
Maybe they should move to Las Vegas where they just broke their all time high temp and hit 120(previous all time record was 117) and set a record of 5 straight days of 115+ breaking the previous record of four...and it's expected to likely double to 10 before the streak ends.![]()
Baby girl dies from suspected heat-related illness after boating trip on Lake Havasu
Heat is believed to be the cause of a 4-month-old's death following a boating trip on Lake Havasu.www.azfamily.com
Eco-Warriors will interpret this story as proof that Mother Nature is punishing us by bumping off our children via the summer heat, Feminists will view this as testament to American families valuing their sons more than their daughters/the intersection of feminism and Climate Justice, while MRAs will dig up a story of a male infant dying under similar circumstances, then cite the fact that it received one day less coverage as testament that Gynocentrism is all around us
I'm frankly disappointed by a separate subject though... The Grand Canyon State's residents haven't yet resurrected the Anasazi practice of gutting their kiddos on stone altars at dusk on Sundays, so as to appease The Rain Gods with the blood and viscera of innocents. The closest we get to seeing that sort of thing in The US these days is The Believersshowing up on TV every now and then
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
