"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

well...it's about postmenopausal women, so hard to extrapolate.

but if i read correctly, they found...not much of an effect on anything. this is at least consistent with the idea that a little soy protein isn't going to change anybody's hormone balance, at least in the short run. but my understanding is that the effects of soy consumption are bound to be long term anyway (greater than 4 months, at least). this study can't even begin to touch that.

I was worried for a minute. I like flax. I buy the whole seeds, keep them in the freezer, and use a flax-dedicated coffee grinder to grind them myself. The flax powder goes well with oatmeal, honey, natural peanut butter
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

your body can't break down flax seeds to get to the good stuff. there are other seeds that it can (see the recent chia pet thread), but flax needs to be ground.

how wonderful. i'm guessing a blender wouldn't work too well with a bunch of seeds, surely they must sell ground flax by itself in bulk

they don't, because pre-ground will go rancid quickly (rancid omega-3s are worse than anything else, including trans fats)

even more wonderful! i'll have to take a look at that bag my dad bought a few months back to see if it really is ground flax! tasted like it had other stuff in there too.
how long would you keep ground flax, then?
btw, are you in the states or uk?

i'm in the states.

i see recommendations that you store ground flax in the fridge, sealed with as little air as possible, for no more than a year. i've also found companies claiming a longer shelf life, but i can't find a basis for those claims.
