"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.

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?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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..
 

"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.

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).

"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.
