"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.

Is it true that egg is the highest quality protein available? Even better than meat? I know an egg has about 6grams of protein per egg, so I'd have to eat a hell of a lot of them to get to my recommened daily protein intake of 160grams a day.
 

"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.

Whole egg protein is superior even to red meat in my opinion. You shouldn't restrict yourself to just one protein source, but it would be eggs if I only had to choose one. But ideally your proteins should be egg (raw), beef and whey - the rest don't do much for serious muscle growth.

And 160g protein isn't very much for a hard training individual. I'd get that in my first two meals of the day. :D

Sounds like a lot to me. What kind of meals are you getting 80grams of protein each?

When training hard it's 500g protein or bust.. now that I'm not training hard (read: at all) it's about 350-400 per day.

And I dunno, they vary. 2 scoops of protein plus 6-8 eight raw eggs gives you 80-odd grams of protein. 3/4lb of chicken, 1lb of beef. Cheeseburgers (no bun, natch).. I admit I'd not want to try and get 80g protein from tuna ;)

500grams of protein a day??? How much do you weigh? That sounds like WAAAAAY more than the average person needs.
 

"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.

Yeah, but at 242 (actually probably less now) and training hard I'm hardly average, am I?

Lots of guys in the gym make the mistake of trying to follow the RDA for nutrients thinking "Ahhh, I'm just an average guy looking for a bit of muscle and fitness, I don't need to eat like a massive bodybuilder" - this is flawed in that 1) the RDA is sh!t and 2) in training, you are simply not an average, sedentary person anymore..

Egg has a biological value set at a 100. the only thing higher is whey protein, im not sure about the BV of beef.

"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.

Are the pre-separated egg whites that come in a carton any good?

They seem a little expensive, but if I'm suppose to throw out most of the yolks from a regular egg, they seem a little more price competitive.

You're not supposed to throw out the yolk. The yolk contains all of the vitamins and most of the minerals. Egg whites have no nutritional value except some trace minerals and protein.

Right now I don't throw out the yolk. I'll scramble five eggs with the yolk.
But I might switch to just keeping only one yolk.
