"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

What is the difference? Absorption rate? Quality? I know isolate has more protein per serving in whey protein shakes. Could anyone explain this please?
 

"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.

Isolates are more pure...they're about 98% protein or so right, but in the procuess of making them its' very easly to destory the protein particle cuz they're so small, i think they make it by seperating the protien particles from the goo thats left over from cottage cheese, well anyway...and the way they make conencrate is when they make cottage cheese right, there is this goo that's left over when the cheese is sepereated from whatever, this goo is dried up and thus you get concentrates, now conencentrates don't get destoryed becuase they're dried up...so you're gettin' about 80% or so protein, but you're gettin all the protein parts. O and as for muscle building, they're both pretty much the same, as long as you get the same amount of protein in, I prefer to consume concentrates just because i know none of the protein was damaged during the process of making it.

The isolates are more pure, and more expensive. It's a better choice for lactose intolerant people since they have zero or very little trace of lactose.

There are two methods used to make whey protein isolate. One uses a microfiltration system, the other uses ion-exchange. One of them (I think the ion-exchange method) uses heat, which can damage the protein molecules.

I usually get the isolate since it's supposedly better, and normally isn't much more expensive at GNC.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
