"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.

Over the years I've had some mean ones folks. These are the 3 best solutions.

1. V8, splash of Tobas-co, crushed black pepper, splash of lemon juice
2. pickle juice
3. IntraVeineous fluids at your local hospital

:cool:
 

"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.

Some solutions I have found are:

If you want to minimize the effects of alcohol, do this BEFORE going out drinking:
1. Eat, preferably a steak or chicken, skip the sides and drink water.
2. Take a vitamin C or Alpha-Lipoic Acid.
*The point of this is that alcohol is alkaline, and by taking acid you will neutralize its effects*

If you already drank a whole bunch of beer, then there is the second option, do this before going to sleep:
Take two (preferably coated) aspirin with a glass of water or gatorade. If you do not have aspirin, then just drink water or gatorade, you drank alcohol & it dehydrated you, by drinking water/gatorade you will replenish fluids.

If its already morning (or should I say 'mourning'?), and if your stomach can take it eat eggs &/or bacon or steak, take vitamin c or alpha-lipoic acid, and drink gatorade. And keep drinking water & gatorade all day. When I get a hangover, my headache goes away in an hour or so, but the exhaustion stays with me all day long, drinking water/gatorade helps minimize the all day exhaustion.
Another option is if you are up to it make lemonade and add a pinch or two of salt, and yea it actually tastes pretty good!

Hangovers are due to the buildup of toxic byproducts from the distillation process and from the metabolism of alcohol itself. You can minimize the effects of hangover 2 ways.

1. Don't drink cheap booze. It has more byproducts in it meaning that more endup in your system- hence hangover. Buy the more expensive types that have been filter/distilled multiple times.

2. Drink lots of water when you get home. Drinking lots of water does three things. Firstly, it decreases the concentration of of the toxins in your body by increasing total fluid. Secondly, you excrete more of the toxins- you get rid of them more rapidly. Thirdly- you prevent yourself from getting dehydrated- which is also a source of hangover.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Avoid it all together! Heres how:

Take a Zantac 150 (its a over the counter anti acid you can buy at any drug store) 20 minutes before you drink.

It keeps you from getting bright red, You are able to drink more without getting super sloppy, and it drastically prevents a hangover!!

Also drink lots of water before you go to bed and keep a couple bottles by your bedside in case you wake up thirsty in the middle of the night.

Dont worry, you wont need to take a piss for the most part, because that water just goes back into all your dehydrated cells. Thats what makes you so tired the next morning.

Just drink ****loads of water, and then some, before you crash out.

Most of my hangovers the next day are just caused by serious dehydration.

Ken, if you're drinking a little then Zantac is not that bad and it will stop you from flushing because of the less immediate metabolisation which is certainly a plus. However, if you are drinking enough to give yourself a hangover (or more), then be careful because things can get messy. Ranitidine, as an anti-acid, inhibits the production of stomach acid. This means that much more alcohol is going to end up in your blood which can be very dangerous.
