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.
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.
I'll try to find out what they're fried in then. ThanksBonhomme said:Unless the fries are fried in coconut oil or lard, they will have trans fats as a result of the heat and light. Natural saturated are actually not as bad for most people, especially if you have a good enough metabolism to use the saturated fats for fuel.
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.
I always get the whole wheat bun. I don't avoid the sauces though. I'll just tell them no sauce next time. What else should I avoid?Bryce556 said:quizno's and subway are good if you avioid the sauses and some ingredients, AND GET A WHOLE WHEAT BUN
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.
Okay. I'll try making my own fries. Homemade fries do taste the best, with fresh potatoes.Sniper001 said:@ Dot - I have yet to find a fast food joint that fries their fries in something other than vegetable oil (can give you pimples) or lard and coconut oil - just avoid fries all together.
At home, I make my own fries and I either bake them or fry them in extra virgin olive oil. (Which is very healthy since it contains omega 3 and 6, and other nutrients.)
Yeah, mayo especially. On a Bk Whopper, getting it without mayo cuts the fat content in half.Kev07 said:nothing really needed to avoid besides the sauces
It's real simple,trans fat=bad for your heart. Treat your body with the up most respect and you will reap the benefits.danno1 said:if you eat a hamburger at mcdonalds its not that horrible and only .5 grams of transfat
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
No they don't,infact a lot of bodybuilders stay away from rice and bread.baurman said:It's the same as making your own home made sandwich and a lot of bodybuilders eat that.

It's not what's 'wrong' with them,but rather it's too many carbs at once,even for a single serving.Zerix said:what's wrong with rice and bread?
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.
