"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.

I just stopped taking creatine because of all the bad crap I was hearing about it. What muscle growth enhancer should I take in it's place?
 

"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.

How about protein?

I wanted to lift and eat naturally, with no help other than food, but that is asking for a bit much out of myself if I'm looking for gains.

From what I know, protein is as natural a supplement you can get, and it helps alot.

What's RLA? I did a search but nothing came up. Got any sites with information?
 

"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.

The bad crap is just that - CRAP. I'm taking it problem free.

RLA is R-Alpha Lipoic Acid. Most ALA is composed of both S-ala and R-ala. The R-ala is the better and the S-ala decreases it's effieciency. That's why R-ala is alot better but more expensive.

Buddha,

It wasn't muscle you had gained, but water in your muscles, which gave the appearance of gaining muscle.

I am all for natural bodybuilding, and have never taken creatine. However, I believe that if you carefully cycle it, you should not have any harmful effects. For me, I just supplement protein and a multi-vitamin.
