"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

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.

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?
 

"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.

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).

"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.
