Title says it. Anecdotal references will be appreciated.
"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.
how do you avoid the afternoon slump?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I have no clue what that is. Sorry.

Well, it's that feeling of sleepiness or drowsiness in the afternoon. Drone work is ok for this. But for stuff that have to be self-initiated like studying or writing a novel, it feels like hell.

I can't say I notice it. I train when I get up and feel energized for the day.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
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'm pretty sure you're just carb sensitive and eating too many at lunch. Happens to me if I don't watch what I'm eating

yeah in that order.TheSlasher said:
danzy could be right though - too much simple carbs will cause you to feel a crash - eat complex carbs instead
i.e. swap out white bread for wholemeal, no sugary snacks aim for healthy and wholegrain - the carbs take longer to release an you'll feel energised for longer.
simple carbs and sugars give a short burst of energy and then a crash.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
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 really only crash when I don't get as much sleep as I should, and am doing mentally intense activities all morning (aka school).
So my answer would be to get enough sleep.
And Purefilth is right, on training days I don't get a slump.

I doubt I could that here in the Philippines; it's our staple food here. Damn.JoeMarron said:

Couldn't hurt to get more sleep at night, right?

Another problem here. I can't sleep until 1am.

Elaborate.Purefilth said:
I am attempting to train in the mornings myself, and there's nothing that seem nastier to me than drinking coffee BEFORE training. If I train first, I will admit I'm sluggish at first but afterwards I don't even need coffee.
Problem is, I like coffee. I'm almost resigned to training Monday through Friday, and having coffee on weekends.

Not sure that's the best advice. Grains aren't bad in and of themselves. They are actually very good to eat in the mornings, with a protein, after a training session.JoeMarron said:

So this morning this is what I did: drank hot chocolate, ate 2 pieces of bread, and went for a 30 minute walk at about 6:30am. Will update you guys how I'll be later.
Modern forms of grains are sketchy at best. They came around the same time obesity rates began to skyrocket. OP I'd try sticking to white rice only as far as grains are concerned. There's plenty of other foods with more nutrition than you can get from grains without the shady reputation. I see no harm in eliminating grains for a month or so to see if the claims against them are true.speed dawg said:
