"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.

So I've joined a local gym and have a vague workout plan. I want to focus on my back and abs quite a bit as my legs have plenty of muscle. Overall goal is to lower bodyfat % from the current 20% to about 14%-12%.

Height 5'8"
Weight ~170
BF% - 20%

I want to reach my goal of 14% by January. Currently I have trouble eating regularly and well (I know how, my job just prevents me from inconvenient food. Plus, I can't prepare anything, certinly nothing that requires refrigeration.). Clif bars and the cousins Builder bars are my main sources of sustinance.
 

"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.

So what is your QUESTION? You seem to state what you are after, but not what you really need help with. Is it your training, AND your eating, just your eating, or what?

Are you asking HOW to eat better and what you can do?

You can check the Vault and though you aren't in high school or college (or maybe you are) read my post about that topic. It gives many options for HOW to eat in tougher situations.

Your diet will KILL YOU if you cant get it right. Living off clif bars and only bars and shakes wont cut it.
