"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.

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?
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.

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.
