"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I don't eat much vegetables so I've started choking down v8 lately because... it's got to be good for me, right??
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

no. 8g sugar, 2g fiber. only good thing about it is that it's loaded with potassium which is otherwise hard to get.

this will have none of the positive benefits of fibrous green vegetables. you'd do just as well to eat pizza sauce (no sugar added, of course).

the low sodium v8 has a pretty good nutritional profile, but throttle is right .. you can't replace em. the main benefit of veggies is the fiber, which any vegetable juice lacks.

potassium is actually pretty easy to get. there's a ton of it in white potatoes and bananas.

depends entirely on your goals.

good point on the potassium, md3, but as an endomorph / lazy mesomorph I generally avoid potatoes, and I can only take so much banana... I tend to get my potassium from low-fat / low-sugar yogurt.

I use to have a problem eating veggies too. Went the V8 route also.

Now I just stir fry veggies with some stir-fry sauce. The veggies all kind of taste the same after they're stir fried. So now I'm able to eat vegetables I was never able to get down before (like brocolli).
I've actually grown a bit of a taste for them now too.
Throw in some chicken or beef, and it's on.

Why do you avoid potatoes? You should be getting a certain amount of starch every day, and what better way? Body type doesn't matter ... you still need carbs.

I eat vegetables, but not enough. I usually supplement with a multi-vitamin, and I choke down some v8 just to fill the gaps.

I do try to eat veggies when they're available though

Ideally you should consume fresh vegetables in addition to the v8. If you aren't, at least take a multi-vitamin. And make the v8 a low-sodium brand.
 

"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.

You've gotta define 'need' though. I've been lifting on a low-carb diet for ~3/4 of a year, with only enough carbs to keep me out of ketosis (60-100g /day) and maltodextrin in my post-workout shake. Carbs come in the form of low-carb vegetables and fruits, and a small amount of carrots/sweet potato.

And yeah, I've been gaining very well.

Maybe I'm biased, but eating less rice, bread, potatoes etc. only leaves me more room for lovely lovely meat.

Need as in some is necessary like you said. My diet is primarily protein based as well, though I do take in much more carbs (mostly from milk and potatoes).

fiber makes you poop.
 

"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.

For kids who have trouble woofing down veggies, yes. My 3 year oldhates greens but can drink that crap. It's actually ok to drink. Id' rather have green beans, etc.
