"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.
Creatine and not working out
- Thread starter baz
- Start date
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Creatine isn't dangerous if you're drinking enough water BTW.

That's not what "not working out" means. If you workout 3 days a week, you should still take creatine every day.Hockey Playa said:thats wierd becuase my creatine bottle says after the initial loading week, it says you can either take it after your workout, or right in the morning on non-work out days?

Yup creatine puts on fat.baz said:I was told taking creatine and not working out will put on weight in the form of fat.. is this true? Couldnt find any info on it.
Not that i would actually try it... just curious.
Squats are bad for your knees.
Bicep curls exclusivelly give you big arms.
Protein is bad for your kidneys.
It takes steroids to get big.
Cardio is for toning, weights are for big muscles.
If you do too much weights you may wake up ripped the next morning...
etc. want me to continue?

btw, creatine does give you strenght but it also increases the volume of your muscles, because your muscles retain more water. but not all creatines do this it must be 100 % creatine monohydrate and it must have the logo " Creapure" in the product, that reveals the quality of the product.

Non-workout day = Day that you take a rest
Not lifting = You're a lazy bum and taking creatine would be pointless
Why take it on a rest day? To keep the levels of creatine in your body up, you're still "healing" your muscles 24/7. No point in only taking it on lifting days.

"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.

You get creatine naturally from red meat. The average adult male has 120g of creatine already in their system; capacity is maybe 3g higher than that. If you're already at capacity from your diet, more will just be pissed out like unused vitamins.Skilla_Staz said:It may seem like it, but I can say, without a doubt, that it does not help THAT much. Creatine's effectiveness decreases with better diets. The more you fulfill your nutritional needs with food, the less your body needs creatine, and the less likely you are to see noticable results. Thats according to some sports nutrition book I'm reading. Seems off to me, since I've never been told that before.

All those numbers and stuff, weren't mentioned and I haven't heard anything like that before.
