"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.

I'm 10.5 stone, so according to this rule I have to eat 5 tins of tuna a day, baring in mind that there's no carbs in these tins I also have to eat carbs too...

how big are your stomachs guys? How ya supposed to eat this much when ya have a full time job! :mad:
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Well, at your weight, 1.2g/lb would equate to around 180g of protein. However, you'll do better on 1.5-2.0g/lb of protein, to be honest. So you wanna be aiming for 230-300+g..try to get 300g. :)

I know this seems hard when you think about getting it all from tuna - tuna out of the tin takes a lot of energy to open, drain and then chew through...so get it from different sources..

- chicken
- beef
- protein shakes
- protein bars

etc...

Seriously, getting 250g of protein, which is basically a minimum for a guy of your weight, is not that difficult. Drink whey shakes with 50g of protein at a time, with a tablespoon of olive oil in to add fat and slow down digestion, chug down as a meal :)

Ground beef, beef mince..make chicken and beef (including mince) into curries, chilli con carne, season them and/or put sources on.

Make omelettes, they're awesome :) Get cottage cheese down you..

It's not that hard when you get to grips with it, really :)

In hell. I'm Satan's lover.
Haha TC when I started lifting I felt exactly the same way, how the hell are people getting so much protein. The thing is, you don't realize how much you're actually having until you moniter a couple days. Here are my fav sources:

- Whey protein >30 mins after workout (in Oatmeal and hot milk... thats a killer for protein right there!)
- Chicken of any kind, especially in a wrap
- Tuna as you
- Milk before bed (Casein takes a long time to digest compared to whey which works in perhaps half an hour, thus ideal for sleeping)
- Omlette with cheese (mmm!)
- Grilled cheese sandwitches

Always try to eat something if you're not totally stuffed. Penut butter is also excellent if you like that. Penut butter and milk is really good too.

Hope that helps a little!

"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.
