"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.

So I've been eating a can of tuna a day now for a while because it's a great source of protein. I'm actually thinking about eating two cans a day but i've read you could get mercury poisoning or some sh!t. anybody know anything about this?

Is tuna really that bad?
 

"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.

It is high in mercury. You can get mercury poising, but it is accumulative. What that means is it builds up over a significant period of time, not just a couple of weeks. I'm not sure how long mercury stores in the body for but taking breaks off it would help and eating two cans every second day wouldn't hurt at all. It also depends on the rest of your diet though.

OP, there may be some risks with heavy metals such as mercury and if it worries you, try getting protein from different sources (eggs; different fish like salmon, cod, haddock etc; lean meats like chicken, turkey, venison; or good old beef/pork/lamb). Apart from reduced risk of heavy metal poisoning, varying your sources of protein will mean taking in a range of vitamins (B12 especially), minerals like iron and other nutrients.

I know it might cost a little bit more but it will probably be worth it in the long run.

I have been told to have no more than 2-3 cans of tuna per week... but I have no scientific proof of anything to offer for this. Just what I have heard..
