"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.

I drink 2 protein shakes a day. 3 scoops at a time and I add 3 teaspoons of peanut butter to each shake, and my cousin told me that with the peanut butter that is too much protein and I will lose a kidney. Is that true what he said?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Nope you will be fine,you may lay some stinky farts though. To be honest,yes there is an issue with taking in too much protein. A extremely high intake of protein on a daily basis for a prolonged amount of time(years) can cause calcuim problems when you are older.

That intake of protein will not kill your kidneys.

everybody outside of weightlifting / bodybuilding / powerlifting, etc. worries that the folks doing it eat or advocate way too much protein. they folks doing it worry about getting enough protein, and getting enough H20, etc. to flush it through. you decide.
 

"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.

Peanut butter has more fat than protein; the added protein is irrelevant.

However, a giant amount of protein, like eating a one-gallon container of mix all at once, will hurt your kidneys. College athletes have been forced into dialysis at least temporarily due to drastic protein overdoses. I know this because af is a dialysis nurse who has had to dialyze college football players who thought that more must always be better.

"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.
