"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

The carnivore diet: yah or nay?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

"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.

Nay because it's unnecessarily restrictive.
Those overly positive comments probably come from people who were eating the standard American diet (ie lots of junk) so when they cut out all that crap, of course they'll see improvements.

But if you stick to a whole foods diet, then what's the point in eliminating things like cocoa or fruit?

I've seen people who are obviously on steroids fearmongering on potatoes and nuts. :rolleyes:
Whoever fears a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and some cheese because 'that's not carnivore, bro' has some serious issues. :zip:

Are you sure the research says that?



The bean-eater will prosper later into life than the beef eater will. Not even debatable from a medical standpoint.
Your missing out on the vitamins i get from beef.

I think eggs are high in biotin and vitamin d. So is meat.

I don't think you can get those from beans.

More importantly, they pack protein

Like how you can’t get fiber from beef.

The difference health wise why beans are better for long term health vs beef come down to three things-

1) Fat content - Red meat is high in Saturated Fat. Go research the correlation between saturated fat and mortality

2) Gut Health- Beans feed your micro biome, supporting healthy guts. The gut has a huge effect on your overall health. Go research what beef does to the gut biome.

3) Cooking process - beef is often cooked at high heat and significantly longer than beans. Cooking meat releases a host of carcinogenic compounds. Take a gander at beef consumption and cancer, especially colon cancer.

I like red meat, but you certainly shouldn’t be eating it often. Every ounce of red meat you replace with beans is health promoting.

I don't like the idea of restricting what foods you eat (well, sugar is bad for you). You're closing off a lot of avenues of nutrition, vitamins and minerals that only come in certain foods. And as has been pointed out, you need fiber to keep your bowels moving. I don't know why you would want to choose such an extreme diet, do the keto bit for awhile if you want to move in that direction.
 

"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.

" A balanced diet" sounds like it makes sense.

Best explanation to why so many folks are positive about it is the argument that American food is crap ( it's known that the EU prohibited many ingredients used in US food,but that's a story for another time my friends!)

If you look passed that argument then that I still can't comprehend why so many people swear on this diet.

Because it is an elimination diet. Carnivore, Keto, Mediterranean, Whole-foods plant based all have in common that they ditch processed junk food. That doesn’t make carnivore “healthy.” It just has the benefit of eliminating some common bad shvt.

No opinion on cheesecake. Can’t say I recommend it although it is a dessert so I assume it’s not something anyone really eats outside of special occasions.

Bread, pasta, and rice are all good if they are whole grain. Rice should be brown or black.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Don’t do it OP. It’s a good way to die earlier.

We are omnivores, albeit it closer to the grass eaters than the meat eaters. You should be eating a ton of fruits and vegetables. Be prudent with your animal based protein sources (fish and lean meats).
Hi Vending Machine,
Generally agree with you,but I think that those with ancestry from the Atlantic fringe should eat lots of dark green veg....Linus Pauling in his essays on the benefits of Vitamin C,claimed such people being close to the glacier never roamed inland during the Winter,eating what they could forage on the rocks and beaches,when pickings became lean they filled their bellies with Atlantic Kale,he thought about 2.5 pounds a Day...I have found the ideal substitute in American Collards,so easy to grow yet soo nutritious.

The only food worth eating among that list is Rice if Brown,but if you have as Hanoi Jane pointed out Genes and Money then you will be OK.
