"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

How much water do you usually need a day? For cutting...bulking whatever? I usually drink about half a gallon, but i want to stop because my face starts to bloat up and i look sort of fat on my face or could it be salt, from fries and stuff?. How much water would be ok to drink? Also, why does my face bloat up?
 

"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.

I agree with semag. Ideally you should drink around 1gal a day. Though for some people I can see that being unrealistic.

Skin puffyness is usually caused by salt.

Well, might as well get as much water as possible. I carry around one of those little bike water bottles, and as soon as I'm finished, I refill. Piss a lot though, but at least you're staying hydrated. This is very important for EVERY body function.
 

"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.

waterz\zzz

when you drink water you know it makes your face look better, how long does it last and is there a limit to the amount you can drink before you cant look better anymore also is that the same with exercising?

Water serves a couple purposes. Hydrates your body, improving many function, and a toxin remover. I would imagine once your body flushes out all the toxins, you'll stop improving and stay where youre at.

unless you are drinking 2 gallons a day, the answer is always the more the better.

You could drink 10 gallons of water a day. Your body only absorbs about 8oz every 20 minutes or so, so the rest is just pissed out. You might as well make the most of it.

Water has no calories
Water has no serious chemicals
Water has no side effects
Water is water


Drink as much as you can bear. Just be ready for a potty break every half hour:moon:

"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.

I thought there was a risk of making your blood plasma too thin if you drank too much water? "Too much" depends on the individual, obviously. When I urinate and the urine is almost clear, I take that as a sign that I'm at the right level.

Yah, urine is the right way. I'm not sure abou the plasma thing, but seeing as how your body only can hold so much, and how some endurance athletes "superhydrate" themselves so that they can hold more water than their body could normally. (Theres some sort of lipid or carb or protein that holds water, I'm not sure, but I read it in my "Advanced Sports Nutrition" book)

Yellow = Bad
Clear = Good
As far as piss goes
