"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 worked very hard to get my diet in check over the past few months. I have read in the cutting thread not to eat carbs after 6 P.M. I have found that it is hard to eat big without eating carbs. I was just wondering if this also goes for bulking diets?

If the rules still apply, what are some good carb free meals? Right now I eat eggs, sliced cheese or salad.

Thanks
 

"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.

It depends on when you go to bed. I would recommend not eating too many carbs about 2-3 hours prior to bed. Sure a little bit here or there isn't going to kill you, but large amounts of carbs will end up just sitting there, because you aren't active and can't use them as fuel. They will end up as body fat down the road if that is a regular occurance.

Eating carbs at night when you are sedentry, over a prolonged period of time will cause you to gain fat. Some carb free meals: Cottage cheese + Flaxseed Oil, Tuna + Olives. You need to complete a meal with either carbs or fats, carbs if you are going to be active, fats if you are going to remain sedentry.
