"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.

Egg whites for protein?

The other day at the store, I noticed for sale, pure egg white. From reading the nutritional information lable, it has 0 fat and carbs, and 5 grams of protein for every 20 calories. Now this seems to me like a very good source of protein, and isn't egg protein one of the most usable forms in your body? So what do you guys think, is this a good way to get protein? (I don't want to use powders, for various reasons.)
 

"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 commonly buy Pure Egg Whites. They are THE best form of digestable protein and are in fact very cheap.

Plus you can mix them in ANYTHING and they won't affect the taste. You can put them in your protein shake. I sometimes even mix a couple tablespoons in with some cottage cheese, yogurt, or oatmeal for a protein boost.

Its much harder to digest caesin if its uncooked. You may want to cook your egg whites to maximize the absorption.


But yea, egg whites are a superior form of protein. Good stuff.

Bump. NEVER eat egg whites raw. And its not about digestion issues either (btw, egg whites are NOT casein :p) its because raw eggwhites contain enzymes which prevent the protein from being metabolized, so they must be destroyed with heat first.
