You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
explain the inconvenience. powerbars are distinctly inferior, full of stuff you don't need immediately after a workout (fiber & fat just get in the way of sending protein straight to your muscles, and fructose is useless from the same standpoint).Crazy Asian said:hey i've heard that it's good to have a couple scoops of whey powder after workouts. but thats really inconvieniant for me, so is there a difference in eating power bars instead?
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
I'm surprised no one has said it yet, and this isn't a bash, but DONT BE A BABY, and just DO IT.Crazy Asian said:well, i mean after swim practice, it'd be easier to eat a power bar than to get a bottle of water, then put some scoops of ur shiz in drink it. and the kind i got doesn't mix well for some reason.....after i mix it, theres still a bunch of clumps that i can't dissolve.
Steak is the wrong thing to eat right after a workout and so is muscle milk. Sure, later in the day, they can be great, but after your workout you want fast acting carbs and protein. NO FAT! Fat slows digestion. Either whey, or a whey/casein and even soy blend. (Yes, the research is being updated on partial amounts of soy iso and casein added to whey.)Kev07 said:steak.
otherwise, i don't touch protein bars, if you're really in that much of a pinch get muscle milk or something
