"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 the fat in almonds bad?

Today I almost snacked on a whole canister of almonds, theres 14g of fat in a serving (29 pieces, who the hell counts how many almonds they eat anyways) and 9 servings in a canister. Thats 1440 calories and 126g of fat. Bad?
 

"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.

Too much of any fat is bad.

Almonds in measured amounts however are a great part of a balanced diet.

They help fight hunger pangs among making your skin look good and a whole lot more!

A good thing you can do, is mix them. I'll mix 1/4c almonds and 1/4c craisins or raisins and eat them. You can do this with sunflower seeds, peanuts, etc etc. Things like this make a good snack. Now the fat in them are GOOD fats, but eating too much one any one thing is probably not the best. Because most of the calories are fat calories. Your safe to eat 1/4c or 1/2c or what ever, but try not to gorge on a whole can.
 

"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.

Well it all depends on what you are trying to achieve in your diet. The classic conversation that too much of anything is bad for you is obvious. I saw your diet Handy, and as long as you do what EFFORT says, you'll be fine.

nuts of all sorts are among the most calorie dense whole foods around.
