"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Today, the doctor told me that since I'm on Accutane that I have to eliminate my multi-vitamins and my creatine, so now I'm even more dependent on my nutrition. Since the budget around here is extremely tight, and I'm kind of new to the whole "get your diet in gear" thing, I'm asking for some help in putting together a shopping list of foods that will help me put on as much muscle mass with as little fat as possible. I plan on eating 5 meals a day, possibly 6 depending on how long I am awake, and I lift and play football on a regular basis, so I may need foods with high carbohydrate levels. Thanks for whoever helps me out with this.

Off the top of my head I'm thinking:

Tuna
Peanut Butter
Salmon

and thats where my tired brain stops.
 

"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.

playing football isn't gonna make it easy for you to gain much, if at all.

lean gains depend on overall diet, cardio, food combinations.

Well, for right now we just have a half hour "walk throughs" after lifting, and once in a while 7 on 7, no contact games. Full out season doesn't start 'til August. For the month or so til then, I plan on putting on as much muscle mass as possible.

well okay, best of luck to you but don't expect a whole lot.

anyway, muscle foods:

beef
steak
eggs (whole)
chicken, turkey light/dark meat
whey
green tea
oats or other low gi carb
olive oil
peanut butter (no sugar)
vegetables (green for preference)
fruit (apples, berries, grapefruit)

that's basically what my diet is. I eat a whole lot of cheese and hummus and other stuff as well from time to time, but the core foods (above) don't change (much like the core lifts in my training).

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I've gained 6lbs in the past 2-3 weeks, so I'm hoping those gains will continue. I know theyve been lean because my abs are much more visible than they were a month or two ago.

Keep the stuff coming guys, I need as much of a variety as I can. I would hate to get burned out from eating the same stuff.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I highly doubt that its ALL muscle as well, but I am certain that the weight gained is mainly muscle. If i have gained any fat or water weight lately, it sure isn't visible.

Also, thanks for breaking those up into groups, makes it a lot easier to toss together a list.
