"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.

There's so many out there.... which do you all prefer and why?

I have taken the general centrums... and recently picked up some Mega Men from GNC (a lot more expensive)

Do they all essentially have the same vitamins/herbs etc....?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I have no idea about brands. What I do know to be mostly good and prefer though is a higher zinc content, less vitamin A, more vitamin D, and less to no iron.

Multi-Life no iron formula by Enzyme Process are among the best and Opti-Men by Optimum Nutrition is good also. I have tried both and prefer Multi-Life. You can find either online for about $18 for a 2 month supply. Be very careful about adding excess iron to your body as it is being suspected more and more that excessive iron leads to early death especially in men who unlike women do not lose some iron each month for about 25-30 years by bleeding it out. In fact, some have gone so far as to say this is what causes the expected life differential between men and women, which I believe is about 6 years...

I take Adam, by Now Foods. It's a quality multi for a good price. You can get a 3 month supply for about $20 on Amazon.


Edit - I was mistaken, it's actually about the same price as the ones marmel75 mentioned.

Have tried several

I have tried Opti-Men, Adam, orange triad, centrum, and ast-pro. The best out of those is orange triad, best sources of vits and has joints supplements. Same price as others.
 

"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.

Dont take multi vitamins... It robs you of already existing vitamins in your body. Look it up.

I thought it was just a benevolent waste of time, because the contents of the pill are all synthesized, and the body can hardly absorb them. If you were genuinely starving and malnourished, the supplement can be useful to correct accumulated deficiencies. But then again, if you have a computer to read this post, you probably aren't starving to death.

Although it's somewhat of a tangent because the research only addressed people who take massive amounts of vitamins, a recent study concluded that, in very large quantities over time, people who take large doses of vitamins tend to die sooner that people who don't.

Best multivitamin =

Banana
Apple
Orange
Spinach
Broccoli
Raw egg
250mL milk
2 scoop whey isolate

Put those in a blender with some ice, blend it all up.

Thats a real multi-vitamin.

As for pills, I don't know. I currently take Swisse Men's Ultivite ... Not sure multis even do anything, but hey why not.

Any other questions let me know...I've done a crazy amount of research on supplements.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I just ordered Opti-Men. They seem to be the most used on bodybuilding.com

To me vitamins are vitamins, they aren't gonna miraculously make you strong and build your muscle. No, they are there to keep you healthy, so pretty much any vitamins will do. Just get the ones that target men obviously, and not women.
I always thought the point of taking vitamins and supplements in general was just to allow you to train harder and longer without overtraining or getting sick or whatever.

I agree with Quiksilver..I am not completely in favor of taking vitamins in the form of pills or other forms. I believe that the fresh vegetables and fruits are pack of vitamins. So, it is better to than pills. Yes, it's an exception for those people who are bodybuilding. But taking it in huge amount will surely affect bad on you body.

I use Alive's No Iron Added Whole Food Energizer. It does have some Iron but a very low dosage. Not enough to upset your stomach especially if taken with food. Gives me a noticeable energy boost. Great price too for quality and quantity. Gives you about 1000 IU of Vitamin D too which is the recommended dosage.

I also take Vitamin Shoppe's Omega 3 Fish Oil 600 EPA/240 DHA. Again, great bang for your buck and very high levels of the EPA and DHA you want. Solgar has a great product too for Fish Oil as well. It's expensive but it has some of the highest DHA I've found at 378. It's the Solgar 950 product.

"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.

plants can't absorb what aint in the soil around them, so it's a fact that many of them are deficient in selenium, etc. Dunno about vitamin shortages in plants, but it seems likely to be true of some of them, too. Eating raw eggs causes u run the danger of salmonella poisoning, you know. Eating lots of fruit=eating lots of sugar, not so very good an idea.

Sounds more like an Orange Julius.

You should replace the milk and whey powder with vanilla ice cream, so that you can add bitter cranberry and grapefruit juices for their antioxident properties. Skip the ice and use some frozen strawberries instead.

Apples have little nutritional value. Skip 'em.

I'm not a fan of calcium from greens b-cuz oxalic acid binds to calcium and renders it unavailable.

Don't eat raw egg. The albumin binds to B vitamins and renders them unavailable.

Been taking it for 2 years now, and the sight of neon-yellow piss in the morning never gets old.
 

"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.
