"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.

Guys,

Interested to hear what sort of things you are eating for lunch. I'm taking 2 x tuna sandwiches (tin of tuna in each, wholeweat bread) with a bit of light mayo, but I'm getting so bored of it. Also a banana and an apple. Any suggestions of protein rich lunches I can make in not too much time the night before work?

Cheers,

df
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

you eat almost exactly what I eat for lunch(tuna sandwich)

Some other cool things to do are cook up acouple chicken breasts and vegetables in a stir fry the night before and wrap it all in tin foil in the refrigerator. Its pretty good by itself, might want some dip with the veggies though, they get pretty bland after acouple weeks of straight, dry cauliflower, brocolli, red/green peppers and snow peas.

Note: cook 2 chicken breasts because inevitably you will either eat one as soon as you cook it, or have it for breakfast! atleast thats what happens to me

Just remember a wok is your friend

Cook extra lean burgers. Takes about 25 minutes the way I make them and you get enough for 3 days.

Ground beef + mashed potatoes is even easier.

PS. 2x tins of tuna every day is a good way to get mercury poisoning.

I was just reading blurb about a new study that suggests the benifits of eating canned tuna outweigh the dangers of mercury. Anybody have any info on this?

some days I eat 4-5 cans.

My usual lunch is either a 3 scrambled egg sandwich on whole grain or a can of tuna on whole grain. If'm feeling crazy I'll bake a chicken or just boil a few pieces.

"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.

the science behind mercury poisoning at such low doses is still fuzzy. US gov't recommendations (for example) are very risk averse.

my favorite quickie: peanut butter on just about anything whole grain or otherwise fibrous.
