"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.

It is the best collection of the items I like. If you are one of the men who do not meet this minimum requirement, or if you are looking for alternative nutritious snack ideas.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

COTTAGE CHEESE, MY FRIEND.

I eat that stuff every day on my breaks at work. It's practically a wonder-food when it comes to physical fitness. Tons of protein, very little fat.

There are all kinds of things you can mix it with, too. Practically any fruit will taste great mixed in with it. Some of the best ones I've tried are:
- diced pineapple
- non-pine apples
- blueberries
- raspberries
- strawberries
- canned peaches
- mixture of diced bell peppers, cucumber, tomato, and a some finely diced fresh basil

Every week I go to the store and buy a few big tubs of it, then I mix it all up in a giant bowl with whatever I feel like that particular week, and portion it out into tupperware dishes and put them in the fridge. Then all I have to do to pack my lunch is make a sandwich, grab a container of cottage cheese, and I'm ready to go!

I think Greek yogurt has a similar nutritional profile as cottage cheese, but it's much more expensive. Still, I like to get it once in a while because I need an occasional break from cottage cheese.
