"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.

"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.
it didnt give you instructions? how cheap is it?
you have to load, this means:
days 1-5: take 5 heaping teaspoons per day.
after days 1-5(maintnence): take 2 heaping teaspoons 2x a day.
maybe once in the morning and once post workout
or whatever you find best.

you want to take 20g per day in the loading phase (days 1-5), then 5 to 10g per day for the rest of your cycle. Drink over a gallon of water per day.
There are a ton of creatine threads on here, just do a quick search and you'll find more than you need.

Ive read that the latest studies say u dont have to do a loading phase and just take like 5 (or was it 10?) g of creatine every day. Thats what im stickin to. Maybe a loading phase is better and those studies were bull****, but if u dont do a loading phase it will only take some days more for u to get loaded and have more water stored I guess..right?
"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.

seriously after about a week or so, you only need about 2g of creatine a day... the residual buildup would remain in the body for up to a month if you decided to discontinue use.

5g/day is definitely sufficient. Creatine, like many other supps, is taxing on the liver, so you don't wanna overdo it.

Two recent long term studies of (powder) creatine use have concluded that creatine use does NOT damage the liver or kidneys or harm the body in any other way if used correctly. The only reason creatine has received bad press is because of incorrect use from consumers.
You should also keep in mind that people get creatine just from eating red meat.
I don't have a link but my source comes from a mass gaining book that footnotes these two publications:
Poortmans J, Francaux M. "Long-Term Oral Creatine Supplimentation Does Not Impair Renal Function in Healthy Athletes." Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, (1999); 31:1108-111

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

shiftkey, from the way that quote is worded, is it definitely propoganda for the bodybuilding cause. "If used correctly" doesnt mean anything. Most likely, it means not taken as a supp/only from meat. In that case, you'd be getting less than 1g/day.

"Used correctly" means taken as directed on the label. Those studies were done just as the labels suggest.
