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.
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.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Why? Forgive my possible ignorance but that is opposite of everything I've ever heard about brown vs white rice.DanZy said:Dude skip the brown rice, white rice is far superior
The only argument for brown rice is the fibre content and it's low GI, however, that fibre comes with all matter of anti-nutrients, causing digestive issues, and thus isn't worth it. Basmati rice is of a similar GI to normal brown rice but has none of the sh1t you don't need. Also the GI of food is pointless when eaten as part of a meal.TheStig said:Why?

Japanese naval personnel used to feed white rice to the officers and brown rice to the enlisted men.There's a reason why the Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese etc go through the extra effort of producing white rice and have done so for centuries.
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.
the Anabolic diet version of a ketogenic diet is more for lean gains rather than shredding the fat fast.foreverAFC said:great thread, is this diet mainly for losing weight ?
