"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.

As you know, this stuff is basically in almost every beverage other than water. What is the danger of drinking this sweetener? Is it okay in moderation or should I try to completely eliminate it from my diet while trying to build my body?
 

"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.

Today is day number one in my non-fructose corn syrup diet. Didn't touch a soft drink all day, nothing but water. Also trying to cut back sharply on junk food like ice cream, cookies, candy, etc. It's amazing because it's been only 1 day and my body is literally having withdraws. Well maybe it's just mental, but I could not stop thinking about sugar or something sweet to eat. I was tempted to open up a 7up and drink it just to have some sugar. I ended going to Whole Foods Market and picked up a few things. I saw low cal soy ice cream I picked up just to help me when I'm clawing the walls for something sweet. Yes, I am a sugar addict! I didn't see any fructose corn syrup on the lable and it's an organic product, so just a couple spoon fulls to stop the pain when the craving gets bad.

I'm not only trying to cut out some of this bad stuff for the purposes of body building but also because I've had re-occuring upset stomach problems for a long time and I'm seeing how I feel after a change in diet.

been on no high fructose corn syrup for a while now (2-3 years i think) i mean sometimes i'll break it just if i want something peculiar, but i don't even miss soda or juice anymore.

Once you get past the 1-2 month mark you're good to go
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
