"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 think my body fat is going down

Since I cut out soda and other high fructose corn syrup products several weeks ago, I really do think I'm seeing a visual difference in my body fat. Not major just yet, but enough for me to see a discernable difference in the mirrow. I don't have any of those measuring tools so I can only judge by sight.

I haven't COMPLETELY cut out all those products, my intake of them is just limited now. I used to always buy ice cream from the supermarket. Ice cream is one of my favorite things in the world. So just having it in the my fridge, I'd be walking over to get some at various times during the day. I still eat ice cream, but now I'll only go to coldstone or basket robbins to get a scoop. So unless I'm really craving, I'm not about to easily get up ride my bike down the street for a taste of ice cream. Maybe once a week. Whereas in the kitchen, I'd just walk to the fridge whenever I got the urge. Same with soda, I used to load up on sodas and have them stocked up deep in the cabinet. I may still have one from time to time, but rather than drinking soda after soda at home, I now only have them on occasion and only when I'm out somewhere, not at home. And even then, I'll usually make an Arnold Palmer from a dispenser if they have lemondade(still has lots of corn syrup) and ice tea available. I guess you don't have to completely eliminate vice foods from your diet, just don't keep them stored in your house where you'll have easy access to them. Treat these things the same way you might treat a ****tail, something you go out and do socially here and there, but probably aren't mixing coctails
at home back to back.
 

"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.

That's great to hear,keep it up!

You know unless your trying to get down to 5-8% you can get away with eating natural ice cream w/o added sugar if you wanted to. I looked into it,no added crap,it was just kinda pricey. I think it was by Dreyers I think and there was only one flavor,some type of Vanilla.

Definitely cut out the soda if you can, diet soda included. I live on flavor bottled water and I always get ragged on because it contains aspartame but I've yet to come across any reputable medical studies that say that I'm cutting 10 years off my life from drinking it; so my fridge is packed with the stuff.

I had the same problem with ice cream too. Luckily I found Breyers Carb Smart chocolate ice cream bars. Only 3 grams of carbs and 100 calories each and they taste like a Wendy's Frosty! Replacing refined foods makes a huge difference not only in how your body looks, but you also notice a huge boost in energy! :up:

Hydrogenated soybean oil, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, polydextrose and sugar are not healthy.
 

"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.
