"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.

What are the leanest sources for beef as well.

Also what is the leanest beef i can get from a deli?
Real beef is proper beef, not corned beef.. any cut of beef, ground beef, any type of steak..

I think you can get 96% lean beef, that'd be super lean steak if you're in the UK.

Dunno about delis, ask 'em.
 

"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.

Alex explained the fast food thing really well.

I know a lot of people trying to put on muscle and there scared of adding a little body fat.

You need CALORIES to grow and fast food is an easy way to get a lot of them, like alex said you have to experiment and see how much your body can handle this, 2-3 times a week shouldn't be a big deal.

And cardio, carb cutoffs, green tea will take care of fat

Some sort of metabolism booster is vital when trying to trim down, aside from am cardio.. green tea is healthy and very effective.

I'd recommend the extract in pill form too, the taste is, um, bleugh.

Thanks.

That pic is actually the new one. The old one was http://www.geocities.com/jonnyhighwire/meweek1.jpg

I just forgot I named the files wrong.

I would do deads but I dont really know how, I can read off the internet but Im scared of doing them wrong. I guess I'll find someone who knows more about lifting than I do to show me the form.

Peace.

"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.
