"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.

Isopure is a brand of protein. It mixes really well, but almost all of the flavors taste like garbage and it's extremely expensive. Save yourself a lot of money and buy a much cheaper brand.

Yeah ... but its good for meal replacements and gettign the right amount of calories and protein you need per day.

What is something else that works just as good as Isopure but doesnt taste as bad?

"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.

I wouldn't say it's much better for meal replacements or picking calories than any other major whey out there. All of them have nutrition information and an ingredients list on the back, and you can adjust your intake of them accordingly.

While it true that there are some wheys that have slightly better stats than others, you end up paying a LOT more for those stats than they're worth. If by "works just as good" you mean helps you increase your protein intake, you won't notice any difference in your results by dropping to an inexpensive brand. As far as I'm concerned, the two most important factors you should consider when picking a major brand whey are price (per gram of protein) and taste. Most of the established companies already get quality base whey (although many add things (creatine, aminos) for marketing purposes). That being said, here are my suggestions for an alternative:

On the cheap end, and what I have been using for the last three years, is Optimum Nutrition's Whey (Vanilla Ice Cream flavor). It costs me $28 for a 5 lb jug, whereas Isopure will run you like $40-50 for a 2 lb jug (if I remember correctly).

If you must stick with high-end protein powders, I used CytoPro for a few years when I had more disposable income. It's cheaper than Isopure, while still being a designer brand, and its Vanilla flavor is the best I've tasted of any protein powder. I think they reformulated it in the last couple of years, so it may not be as tasty as it once was.

Just to emphasize the point, I've seen NO difference in my bodybuilding results by using different wheys, and I've tried quite a few. So, if you're looking for some magical brand of protein that will give you an edge over the other gymrats, there's no such thing. Spending an assload on Isopure just makes you poorer.


Whatever you do, DO NOT touch the peanut butter-banana flavor of IsoPure (I think that's what it was--it was some kind of peanutbutter flavor anyway). That **** is toxic. I spit it out as soon as a drop hit my tongue, and felt nauseous for an hour after that. I can still, several years later, remember the taste. I'd rather eat pickled roaches.
