"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 ordered 2 gallons of this last night after failing to find ANY form of it in two grocery stores:

Any of you really taken it? I don't even plan to cook with it (maybe a tiny bit if i'm cooking eggs for nonstick purposes), but take it straight up, especially when I bump up my calories into more of a bulk mode. I already drink tablespoons of olive oil and fish/cod liver oil straight.

Any digestion worries or anything?
 

"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.

Haven't taken it myself... yet... I have been suppoused to buy VCO for sometime now.

It's the best to start slowly building up how much you take. Start with 1 tablespoon and increase it higher. Heard someones talking about 3,5 tablespoon to get good effect out of it. Btw notice that VCO got less calories than the more common oils/fats.

There are plenty better options for extra calories than coconut oil. I'd just throw more eggs in there personally. Why did you want coconut oil specifically?

I've taken it on and off, never regularly. Still got 3lbs of the stuff left though, so I'm gonna shoot for 3 tbsp a day until it's gone. Taste is ok, it melts in your mouth, it's just a pity I don't like the taste of coconut :crazy:

Variety.

Any health benefits other oils don't provide. I like to buy in bulk. Nuts are expensive. More olive oil tastes like ass. I don't want to eat more eggs all the time if i'm not drinking them, which I only do if i'm mixing it with whey and i don't want whey all the time. I already have 20g+ of fish oil a day.

Shrug, i don't mind CEE one bit but olive oil is disgusting. 1-3 tbl of that a day is enough. What's nice about some good tasting oils too is that you can throw them in a shake for the road.
 

"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.

I discovered today that CEE mixed with some ALCAR and Vit C tastes quite nice.

In hell. I'm Satan's lover.
If I'm feeling particularly badass I'll chug some extra virgin olive oil. The first week of doing this I'd drink it and then spas, cough and gag from the after-taste. If you can get used to it it's very benefical.
