"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 red meat necessary to put on muscle and get bigger? I've never eaten red meat, but I eat plenty of chicken/ham/turkey/beans/cheese/whey/soy. Is this good enough or do i need red meat?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Red meat and eggs are a must. Look to get the majority of your protein from those sources.

After wba mentioned for the 100th time that red meat is a must, I finally looked into it, ate it more, and have seen some good results. The moral of this story, listen to wba.

Look at the saturated fast thread by mrruckus and 'can you bullk as a vegetarian' threads.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Ok friends I am new to this place and i am a 18 year old of Korean boy and i am wondering why i cant do pull ups. i can do like 2 on a good day. I work out only twice a week because of school and all. also i got my mind set on enlisting in the Marine Corps so i have to improve on my pull ups. i can already pass the other two parts of the physical fitness test. am i weak because i don't eat pork or beef? (never eaten pork or beef in my life) i ask this because red meat contains large amounts of iron that builds strong muscles

No imo, Chicken and turkey are just fine.
Good, I was reading through this post and I was like wtf? Get advice from the professionals, man. I feel like I get a enough fat from my eggs so I usually stick to chicken in the later hours of the day, and I'm doing fine.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

red meat and eggs contain complete proteins and fats that your body needs. so does fish such as tuna. if you don't eat these, you'll have to make do with incomplete proteins and less of them. your body is meant to consume these sources. over millions of years of evolution, our bodies have evolved and developed with these sources. you can kind of spot people who don't eat properly, unfortunately.
