"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.

thanks
 

"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 can't get why someone that wants to bulk shouldn't eat after 9pm.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because your body has a lack of nutrients because you have been sleeping and have not been eating. Eat:

1 Bowl of Oatmeal (oldfashioned oatmeal in can, not those little packets)
-put cinnamon and raisins in it

6 Egg whites
- I usually eat 1 yellow out of the 6 whites, but never more

Power Smoothie
-blueberries
-1 banana
-1/2 mango
-almonds
-ice

Now I'd also recommend putting whey or soy protein or some createin into some of those foods.

I usually finish off breakfast with some green tea.
 

"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.

my breakfast this morning:

100% Shredded Wheat, 2 biscuits
.5 cup of 2% Milk

ON Whey Protein Powder
1 cup of 2% Milk

Of course I'm dropping weight, so that's only about 475 calories.
But thow in two slices 100% whole wheat toast, some sugar-free jelly, and you're up to 675 cals easily.

The truth is your going to have to figure out a way to get the food in.

Pack beef with you, grind some oats and pack how ever many you need to get your requirements met (this could mean 5+ cups of oats), pack a lot of whey (if its a long day and u really can't get food in there that might mean packing 8+ servings of whey), bring nuts, olive oil if you can handle it. Just do whatever u have to do to meet your nutrition requirements for that day, it probably won't be neat and pretty but just do it.
