"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.

Is there anything bad about having a high-sodium diet? It seems like a lot of the "fat-free" or "lowfat" meats get loaded with salt.
 

"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.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe more sodium will make you retain more water.

Yes it will, but more gets flushed out as your body strives for homeostasis.

"It seems like a lot of the "fat-free" or "lowfat" meats get loaded with salt."

There are also other places large amounts of sodium are found like, canned or preserved foods.

be wary of salty and preserved foods in general, many of which contain MSG; which causes permanent neurological damage in mice and other animals in lab tests

if you take in high amounts of sodium, the trick is to keep your potassium levels on par (its a trace mineral so not to much or you heart will fail) and keep you water intake high also then there souldnt be a problem
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
