"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.

"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.

I don't think it matters, I use to buy the brand name but now I've been buying the generics since they're half the price and no problems.

I'd suggest buy a smaller one so you can sample it. Make sure it's oil (ie you can spoon it into your mouth), not a capsule with oil inside.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

IMO to make a significant difference w/ fish oils (the actual omega 3 lipids have long ass names abbreviated to EPA and DHA) you gotta take like 3-4 g of actual DHA/EPA in per day.

Most fish oil caps will contain anywhere from 200-500 mg of actual DHA/EPA. So that means you'll have to take a significant number of these pills to get to the 3-4 g range.

Liquids just make it easier to get the desired amount. I personally use gel caps because I don't mind popping pills.

you'd need to eat a LOT of fish to get in the optimum amount of fish oil (which is anything between 20-45g a day).
 

"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.

Do a search on this and I talked about this topic before. I also mentioned the confusion some have about the oil and DHA/EPA. Some people think 20g of fish oil is the same as 20g of EPA/DHA. Some also think all fish is the same. I also broke down some fish too and their fat content.

i use gelcaps b/c i can get a hold of decent quality at a decent price, which has eluded me with the liquids. however, i'm taking 3 after nearly every meal (5-6 / day). advantage: it's spaced out through the day, and gets absorbed with and helps absorb whatever else i'm eating. disadvantage: that's a lot of pills.

Alright, I'll bite; 45g why so much?

Oh, so THAT'S the story. Supplements are good as long as they replace having to eat fish... :whistle:

Fish is great, but Warboss is a bit of a landlubber.
 

"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.

"Lubber?" Is that the stuff you find between the belly folds of a fat woman? :confused:

The oil just absorbs faster than capsules, no biggie. I also like how it can go easy on salads, shakes, etc so you can always down it with something else if the taste makes you gag.

I wouldn't take it pre-workout unless you wanna burp fishily over the other guys/girls at the gym. :D

There is a case for taking it post-workout (a small amount, say 5g) because of the anti-inflammatory effects and positive effect on insulin sensitivity.

otherwise, take it whenever
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
