"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.

Is it normal for MRPs to cause gas?

Well I've been working out now for about 2 months (4 days/week) at a gym w/ a personal trainer. Everything is fine except the MRPs I drink give me a lot of gas--I'm pretty much farting all day--and I usually sh1t like 2-3 times every day.

Is it normal for this to happen or am I just using a crappy MRP? I'm using Reeves Nutrition MRP. It has whey protein & some other goodies in it & I drink it 3 times / day. Once in the morning, once before I workout & another before bed.

When I prepare it I use 4 pieces of ice & mix it in a blender. Would the blender cause air pockets & create gas? Or is it the MRP itself?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Go back to solid food, then add the MRP gradually again over a couple of weeks. Also sip it don't chug it.
