"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.

Do protein shakes really work? I want to build some muscle and tone up. Can anyone recommend any good ones? I heard that if you drink a protein shake, its like having a meal because of all the calories. Is this true?

Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

yes protein shakes can assist you building muscle, if you stimulate your muscles properly(working out), eat in acess to your maintenance level of calories, and eat aprox 1 g of protein per lb. of body weight, you should gain muscle mass. protein shakes can help up your protien intake and calories...

I like using Muscle Milk. It tastes great (Vanilla Flavor). I have noticed a difference and combined with milk, you get a full sensation, which makes you not want to eat as much. I only take it once a day and never before I go to bed.

Hope this helps.

I bulked up using Met-Rx Pure Protein shakes. They don't taste bad and I got results fairly quickly. But yes, you really do have to do some serious weight training to help stimulate the process. You just can't expect to drink the shakes and not commit to working out and shocking your muscles for growth.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

A solid meal containing protein, carbs, and fats is much much better than a protein shake. But yea they provide extra protein so they do help.

After, not before. Protein is merely one nutrient not a complete meal.

Turkey and Tuna are very good because they are low in saturated fat, they are probably some of the leanest sources of protein available.
Mackerel and Salmon because they contain EFA's(Essential Fatty Acids), salmon being kind of expensive, so it's probably best to supplement with an EFA such as fish oil because it might be unrealistic to eat salmon and mackerel on a daily basis:)
Also pork, ham, beef, eggs, milk, cheese, cottage cheese, any meat really.

If you wanna get big, and are lifting weights, consider this quote from Lyle Mcdonald to help clarify the importance of protein and EFA's, "With sufficient protein and EFA's you can get ripped off table sugar". Something to think about:) Goodluck.

Straining to lift this to Health and Fitness...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

protien shakes do indeed help.

i myself drink Isopure Whey Protien. I tired the GNC brand and it felt thin and with no taste. Isopure is somewhat a little bit thicker and taste MUCH better. I buy my stuff online in 7.5lbs buckets for around $45. 3lbs bucket from GNC cost $45-$50. You do the math.

Optimum Nutrition's 100% whey is the best-tasting and highest-quality on the market for its price tag, imo. 23 grams of protein per serving. The chocolate flavor tastes just like Nesquik. You can often find a 10-pound bag for 46 bucks online. Don't ever buy anything from Get Nothing Cheap.

Protein shakes are not the things that work. It's the protein. You can obtain protein from tons of natural sources such as meat, eggs, milk, etc. Protein powder makes it super convenient to get your protein requirements as you are training. Also, whey protein is the most easily absorbed by the body, making it the deal source for a supplement.
