"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.

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?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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
 

"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.
