"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.

Currently 5'7 143 pounds looking to bulk up. I would like to get to 155-60 in 2-3 months. I'm using thedailyplate.com to get an idea of how many calories I should be eating and its saying I need roughly 2,900 a day to gain 1 pound a week. Anyway I'm on day 2 and I'm getting my calories but it's getting expensive and I'm looking for an affordable powder to supplement a few meals a day. I'm also on a very clean diet, plenty of vegetables, lean protein, nuts etc... Any suggestions?
 

"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.

LOL. Find a way to get money. You need an income to afford what you need. Find a way to invest in yourself. I personally spend 35 dollars a day on average on what I eat. Buy at supermarkets. Buy in bulk. But other then that theres not much you can do.

Start buying ground beef and other meats with a healthy fat content. They're generally cheaper and have more calories than lean meats.

Since you're only on Day 2, just roll with what you have for a week or two, and then adjust if you have to.

Personally I'd start buying plenty of eggs, and rotate between regular ground beef and chicken.

ie.

monday - eggs, ground beef
tuesday - eggs, chicken
wednesday - eggs, ground beef
thursday - eggs, chicken
friday - eggs, ground beef
saturday - eggs, salmon
sunday - eggs, steak

-----

obviously for that you have to enjoy eating eggs, but if you're interested in achieving your goal in a reasonable timeframe, it'd be a smart idea to get acquainted with them.

good luck

I second this post. This is a great way to bulk on a budget. Eggs are cheap, relatively, and if you buy your meat in bulk...the cheap fatty type steaks (which taste great, and have healthy good fat). You can do this fairly cheaply.

Also, buy your protein shakes in bulk, like a 10lb bag, and you can save a lot of money that way too..
 

"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.

I just noticed, you're in Siberia. That's awesome.

About the beef, I am no authority to answer that question, but people who know what they're talking about are recommending it to you. It wouldn't make sense for them to recommend it if they thought it was harmful.

There isn't much to do about pesticides except wash the fruits and veggies before you cook them.

One thing no one mentioned yet, is that when you're eating plenty of meats and eggs, keep your fibre intake high.

I generally eat 2 vegetables a day, and 1 or 2 cups of oatmeal.. flax seed is good too, as are psyllium husks.

So yeah, eat plenty of meats and eggs, balance them with fish oils, flax oils, and vegetables that are high in calcium(brocolli, spinach, etc).

:up:
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
