"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.

I found that drinking coffee gives me a cheap boast before I go to the gym so I don't get tired while I workout. I wanted to know whether its ok to drink coffee for a boast and whether it has any drawbacks??
 

"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.

The caffiene is a plus, I know that. As for the other crap in coffee, I'm not exactly sure. I'd prefer to take a caffeine pill about an hour or so before my workout.

My nutritionist professor said theirs no such thing as a caffine crash like sugar. The caffine wears of very slowly. All the caffine does is free up fatty acids in the body so they can be used for energy.

You must no consume so much caffine that your body won't return to its normal mode. Some people drink a lot of caffine, but it doesn't wear off by the time they consume more caffine (the next day), so they keep adding more stimulants to their body, and too much will do bad things for the body. It we put a lot of stress on the central nervoius system.

How much is too much? I forgot exactly, I think over 2 cups but im not sure.

the other factor is that caffeine dehydrates, especially in the form of coffee, since it's so relatively concentrated. you'll have to make up for it by drinking even more water.

Is it the caffiene itself that dehydrates, or the stuff IN the coffee?

I remember reading something recently saying that many of the drinks that possess caffiene dehydrate you not due to the caff content, but rather the other ingredients...
 

"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.

hmm, I don't drink a lot of coffee, but i'm addicted to several diet sodas, all caffeinated and on the balance, they tend to dehydrate rather than hydrate.
