"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 New Type Of Creatine What Oo You Think?

"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.

In hell. I'm Satan's lover.
It's not a new creatine. It's a formula containing a non-essential aa that's supposed to impact bodybuilding the same way creatine has. Apparently there are a lot of studies on it. It seems like it could be beneficial but I'll stick to whey, creatine and rippetoe! Plus creatine has a lot of obscure benefits aside from more muscle strength. :)

Sometimes you post good stuff blink. Then sometimes I TRULY have to wonder where the fvck you get your information from.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

MOST pills break down in a glass of warm water (if they don't, they're a sh!tty pill). if plain water can do it, no way your body would have problems. I don't buy that at all.

"Also, this drug is hard on your liver so you will want to avoid this pain kille if you have liver issues."
Wow, what a completely unrelated reference. We're talking about a supplement--not even a drug--and you bring up a hard, prescription-only painkiller. It's not the fact that it's a pill that makes it a problem, it's what's in the pill.

Do you think that if you put sugar in pill form and take them, your liver will suddenly explode? Hey, it's in pill form, it's hard for your body to break down and it'll hurt your liver! :rolleyes:

Wait...you're comparing taking this supplement to taking vicodin? Vicodin is hard on your liver because of the way it's metabolised, not because it's in a pill. Jesus. You need to read a book on biology.
 

"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.

This is where fruits come in.
fruits play a major part in a balanced diet but not just them: you need veggies, animal proteins and fats, essential oils, nuts/seeds..

You've taken a huge leap from taking pills, to taking vicodin, to taking multivitamins. You cannot compare taking vicodin to taking a multivitamin.

There are biochemical reasons for beta-carotene and vitamin E showing an increase in certain diseases.

Beta-carotene for one acts as a pro-oxidant in the lungs, hence why it increases lung cancer incidence in smokers. It doesn't put any 'strain' on your liver. What are we supposed to do, stop eating carrots, plums, peas, sweet potatoes and everything else with beta-carotene in because there's the slightest chance that I may just, maybe possibly have a HUGE 4% increase in risk of dying if I'm a smoker?

Studies like that are hugely unreliable since they rely on people following things properly. They also don't take into account other variables like diet, exercise and lifestyle which can have a huge effect on disease incidence, and also the forms of vitamins used can have a big effect on how they act in the body. Was the Vitamin E dl-alpha, d-alpha or alpha, beta and gamma? Reading a news article on the abstract of a meta-analysis doesn't tell you that.

Of course vitamins cannot replace a good diet, that's exactly why vitamins are SUPPLEMENTS because they SUPPLEMENT an already good diet. The people who rely on vitamins to cover up their crap diets are at increased risk of disease anyway. If they don't eat well it's highly likely that they don't exercise well and don't rest well and don't manage their stress properly.

Good luck on trying to get all your minerals from fruits.
