"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.

Does the brand of whey protein matter much?

I want to bulk up and would like to supplement my diet with whey because it's hard eating 150-200 grams of protein a day, but that shyt's expensive. Does the brand really matter much, so long as it's whey, or what?
 

"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.

Whey is only expensive if you buy the branded stuff. My whey works out at ~ £7 per kilogram. Try buying unflavoured in bulk from:

trueprotein.com (USA/Canada)
wheyconsortium.co.uk (UK)
myprotein.co.uk (UK)

Other guys could probably recommend bulk suppliers for other countries.

You can either buy flavourings with it, or use your own flavourings, (I use cocoa powder). Whey concentrate is whey concentrate, but comes in different protein concentrations. 80% is the most cost effective. Don't bother with isolate unless you're lactose intolerant.

Oh and 150-200g from whole food a day isn't that hard.

From what I've been reading I've been brainwashed to believe that only only one kind of whey is good, for example.

So I too am a little confused as to what to get and have basically the same problem as Scrumtulescence.

I use ON whey, they won the best protien suppliment on bb.com. You can't really go wrong with this one. They taste great and cheap.
 

"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.

Yea the chocolate mint goes down easy. Don't get the cookie and cream, they are just too sweet for my taste.

Can't remember what brand I bought, but it was a big tub for $20. The way I see it, it's a supplement, not a full meal, so taste shouldn't be that big of a deal. I got vanilla flavour and it fvcking tastes like coffee mate. I'll be trying a different flavour next round. But the way I look at it, whey powder doesn't taste as bad as some of the women I've been with :D

I'd keep that on the down low.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I didn't want to spend too much money on something I haven't tried before, so I got the TwinLab 100% Whey Protein Fuel (50g protein per two servings).

Does anyone have experiance with this/is it decent?

I really like Optimum Nutrition Whey Chocolate. It tastes like chocolate milk, hands down, there are alot of good flavours that are cheap such as the protein made by CytoSport (Not MuscleMilk, but The Whey Protein). There are several different types of protein whether its egg protein or whey protein and whether its isolate or concentrate.

As far as general protein consumption goes, I wouldnt suggest relying on Protien Powders for sources of protein. The only time most people should or would drink protein shakes is a) a post-workout shake b) if you are running late and dont have time to make eggs or something (this is not a good time either) eat some cottage cheese.
