"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.

"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.

Now if you wnat to be cutting, and still have the 5-6 meals a day to keep your metabolism going. Do you eat smaller caloried meals?
Like having a decent breakfast and then a light lunch and throughout the day eating a cucumber, or just a wholemeal sandwich for dinner enough to get your calories down whilst also doing cardio at the same time good enough to get you into cutting for a few weeks?
Apologies if this doesn't make much sense but I am confused on this aspect of things.

Does that go for all sorts of cardio exercises before eating breakfast? I thought your metabolisms burn the food up quicker if you eat after doing exercise, so won't doing a little bit of cardio in the morning get the metabolisms going and burn up what you eat for breakfast quicker?

Secondly, I used to excersize on an empty stomach, then I read it doesnt do you that much good. My take on it? Have a banana and a sandwhich about 30 mins before you go for your cardio. I dont know how much of a good idea that is, anyone got advice?
I'd say eat about a third of your breakfast, rest a bit, do cardio, then come back and have the other 2/3.
Thirdly:
Bang on the mark. Well played.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

good posthowever i am against JoE BoXeR about his foods to avoid list :
- alcohol : wine, especially red wine is good for your health. a glass everyday is proven to be very healthy. that's why every french (especially int the south/mediterranean coast) takes a glass of wine during lunch or dinner. now, i don't know why it is good, maybe because it has a lot of anti-oxydants
- coffee : it is also proven that coffee, with normal intake (1 cup per day) is good for your overall health and concentration. it has a bad reputation because people are used to take lots of sugar with it and milk. plain old caffeine is good for you, it helps to burn the fat and accelerate the metabolism
- fried food : it depends on how you fry your thing. it depends if you can find an oil which does not decompose with high temperature. it depends how much time you leave your foods. it depends how you take away the oil afterawrds. (i agree boiling would be hassle-free)
- white bread : there is one recent french study that shows that white bread is better than whole bread, white bread provides slower glucides and is processed better by the body. ATTENTION ATTENTION : they compared old traditionnal white bread made by good bakeries (the french baguette with top-quality white flour and traditinal raising) to standard complete bread. this study also shows that standard white bread made by standard brands are not good for your health. i am talking about the standard white bread you would find normally in your local WalMart. traditional white bread is better than whole bread which is better than standard white bread.
i'd add also in the "foods to avoid" list :
- sugar, all kinds of it ( honey is one cool solution)
- every kind of heavy-processed food, thats means anything tasty and too sweet.
and in the foods to eat :
- nuts
- green tea
conclusion :
Avoid PROCESSED foods. at all costs. take natural ingredients. when going to your local foodstore, read the labels and the ingredients list, and DO NOT TAKE all foods which contains chemical preservatives, colorants or other chemicals.

One thing though: why shouldn't you drink homogenized milk? Is it even possible to buy non-homogonized milk?

this really needs to be stickied, guys
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Alcohol is still **** for your body in many ways. For some heart conditions, you need it, but that is about it. If you want the benefits of red wine, just get dealcholized red wine or red grape juice! (Wine is grape juice w/ alchohol).

Master Don Juan
a small amount of alcohol per week is good for you. drinking a lot of alcohol on the other hand, is bad.

Perhaps by raw mass, but he was measuring the percentage in terms of calories, not weight; The same way the rest of the world does.

No it's not.

thx for the reply."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.

207.7g protein + 503.9g carbs + 112.5g fat = 3773.2 Calories
instead of 207.7 x 4 + 503.9 x 4 + 112.5 x 9 = 3858.9 Calories
Not the world, only out of curiosity....
The spec are exact gram for gram of PURE protein, fat or carb. Whole foods contain other elements, fiber and such that the numbers almost never add up to the sum of its macronutrient content. No one knows why this is. Just make sure you meet your needs in grams first, not calories.Originally posted by milkman
