"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.

Maybe the caffeine in the green tea extract helps to mobilize the fatty acids from the adipose tisssue to be used as fuel source.

Green Tea does contain EGCG, a very potent antioxidant. It also contain a ****tail of other polyphenol compounds similar to EGCG.
The caffeine has a negligible effect on fat mobilisation since decaf green tea provides the same thermogenic benefits more or less - it's all in the polyphenols. :D
 

"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.

After a week of taking these, I can honestly say that green tea capsules are perhaps the best supplement I've ever spent money on.

Unlike caffiene, you can take several of these a day without getting that crash & burn, high-blood pressure, jittery effect. These things seem to crank my metabolism as much as a session of cardio. Highly recommended. :up:

What about for weight gain (trying to retain all the fat I can get.)

it'd still be in my 'must have' supplements list regardless of your goals.

weight gain will and never be attributed to a supplement (unless it's super supplements).

Spes, why would you want to retain bodyfat? Weight is just a number. I'd rather be 150 at 10% BF than 160 at 15%

(I'd much rather be 190 @ 9% bodyfat, but hey, thats a long ways off.)

"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.

Won't it eventually aid in muscel gain? something to do with excess calories. . .

My body fat is probably in the single digits.

Well if it's in the single digits, then no worries, but bodyfat (as far as I know) doesn't aid in anything really.

Now, adding healthy fats to your DIET, thats a whole different story.

extra bodyweight, either through fat or muscle, will make you stronger quicker because of the extra leverage, but the payoff (it'll be harder and take longer to take the fat off) isn't worth it unless you're a powerlifter/strongman going for pure strength.
