"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.

Are there any advantages of eating meat over a vegetarian diet? Say a vegetarian is meeting all of his protien requirements and taking supplements for creatine and carnitine. Wouldn't he be as well off or better than someone who eats meat for protien considering they are getting equel ammounts of protien.
 

"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.

Meat eaters do have an advantage. The most obvious one to me is the protein issue...let's say a vegetarian is meeting their protein requirements for building muscle (i.e. 1.5-2g/lb). If you're 150lbs, you wouldn't want to be getting *all* 300g of your protein from whey and casein shakes...ugh, fvck no. In fact some vegetarians may not even drink whey and casein because of it's derivation from animal products, much less egg protein.

So the other sources for vegetarians are soy protein, which have quite low BV (biological value) and are pretty crap proteins (bad amino acid profile). Not to mention soy's potential hormonal effects..

So, getting decent protein is more of a problem..

Also, many vegetarian diets lack fat, which is very important for hormone control and hence muscle growth. This can be put right, however, by drinking olive oil, flaxseed oil, etc..

So there are disadvantages, but that doesn't mean you can't grow muscle as a veggie.

It helps but I have to say, i once had a meat free detox and felt amazing.

I couldn't give up meat, but it makes you wonder.

Pork, i don't touch.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

What if you replace all your meat with eggs? Isn't eggs the most efficient source of protien?

I'd much rather eat a nice bloody steak or a roasted leg of lamb than eggs.

It's very, very difficult to get enough complete protein out of a true vegan diet for the average person's requirements, let alone building any significant amount of muscle.

Eggs & meat are both complete proteins with the right balance of aminos for muscle growth. Ask WBA about the extra benefits of red meat.

For growth, I would suggest looking at what the average vegan eats, then add red meat, fish, poultry and eggs. They can't eat the processed crap that most of us load up on, so it's a great starting point. But going vegan for growth... good luck. You'll probably find several 'success' stories of 'vegan bodybuilders' somewhere on the internet.
 

"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.

Definatly not going vegan, lol. I am just thinking about replacing all the meat in my diet for eggs since eggs are cheaper and easier to cook.

I think you'd get bored of just eggs very quickly.

I'm an advocate of ignoring the cholesterol in eggs & downplaying the negative side of saturated fat, but relying entirely on eggs would be false economy. their fat : protein ratio is basically 1:1, while even the fattiest chunks of ground beef are more like 1:2, and chicken breast 1:8.

And while they're the cheapest protein around, as simon says, going for all eggs is monotonous.

Beef & chicken aren't any harder to cook (unless you're taking all those eggs raw), and it's much easier to mix either with fibrous veggies or beans.

If chickens are naturally raised and fed and not mass raised you will get the Omega-3 heart health benefits from egg's. I just bought a cartoon of Omega-3 eggs so any negatives about eggs are wiped out with this cartoon.

there is a strong case to be made for using such eggs, but the ones I have access to tend to negate the price advantage that eggs enjoy in the first place.
 

"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.

Well, after looking at some nutrition labels, it seems that meat is much more dense in protien than eggs. Good enough reason for me to keep da meat.

there are no carbs in meat and meat is full of protein.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
