"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.

I'm heading to the health store tomorrow, and was wondering if it's worth picking up a tub. I buy Whey isolate, and I've heard some hype about glutamine from various places, I was wondering if it's worth dropping $30(canadian) on a tub of it.

Thanks
 

"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.

how much in the tub?

glutamine is a good supplement but get it in bulk so you can take a high dose every day. I'd go with 10-15g minimum to start with, then double it as your training gets heavier

It's not a must-have however, and smaller doses are wasteful in my opinion

WBA, how much is considered 'smaller doses'?

I take 15g on non-workout days, and 20g on workout days (3x/week). Im about 190lbs, been working out for 6 months using 5x5 style.

Would you recommend more?

Quiksilver, I think glutamine has helped me, recovery time has shortened since I started (though it did coincide with higher protein intake, so the jury is still out). Krealkalyn pills have done much more for me though - much more energy per workout, big initial gains.

Where are you buying it? Im in Toronto as well, I get 1.6kg at GNC for about 60$ cdn. 30$ sounds like a great deal.

Bro you took 10-15 mg when you started? I take very little doses, the guy i bought it from said if you take a lot "12-20mg" you get diarria lol.

i dont know about the guy though, he didnt seem to know much about health and fitness, he juss gave a story about his nephew who took that many mg and got diarria.

But from your experience you didnt get any diarria?

I had a friend say a lot of good things about krealkalyn pills, especially about his initial gains, the only con he told me about is how fast your gains and muscles drain when you dont take it.
 

"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.

I'm talking grams here guys, not milligrams (mg)

I'd say go with 10-20g a day depending on your size, if you notice a difference keep it, otherwise up the dose.

it's useful for guys susceptible to catching colds as it boosts the immune system (which is more vulnerable when you're training hard anyway)

A lot of proteins these days have glutamine mixed in so check you whey if its already got it. Theres not much evidence to support that taking excessive amounts helps anymore and really if it's in your protein then you don't need to sumpliment extra.
