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.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"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.

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.

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

"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.

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..

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
