"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.

Apparently, my urologist says I can no longer take creatine as he thinks that what the cause of my two bouts of kidney stones. I've not taken creatine since November, and my arms are noticeably smaller. I am guessing that is due to the lack of additional water in my cells. Is there anything else I can do to build more mass in my arms w/o the creatine? I'm pushing the weight, but arms have not gone back to pre-kidney stone levels.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Creatine is still a thing? I thought its benefits were debunked back in 1998.

Drink plenty of water and take in adequate protein, you'll be fine.

Not sure why you thought that. There's plenty of research out there proving the benefits of creatine.

I recently started taking it again and I can defintely tell a difference. I'm making strength gains faster and need less recovery time between sets.

Rick, I've heard that L-Arginine provides a better "pump" during workouts. Worth looking into.

It definitely provides more libido. I took that stuff for like 5 days about 10 years ago and it was like viagra.

I'll look into the L-Arginine. I've used it before, just gave me headaches. Creatine was the sh!t, just not worth dealing with kidney stones again.
