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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
who is they?Crissco said:They say your body can only absorb 30-35 grams of protein per sitting, otherwise you sh*t it out.
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.

Those are the basic guidelines brotha. From what I read the rest either turns to fat or you **** it out(Depending on the individual).Pie in the Sky said:So a 90lb ballerina can only consume 30g of protein in one sitting, same as a 220lb body builder? I think it is a bit more complicated than that.
You got the studies dude?Rampage1 said:Further studies have actually shown that this is bull****. if that were the case then you would have to eat like 9 meals a day to get your allocated protein allowance..
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
1 sitting as in 1 meal, and I'm eating every 2 and 1/2 to 3 hoursEFFORT said:what defines 1 sitting?

I weigh 180 but my target weight is 240.Espi said:How much do you weigh?
Why?Rampage1 said:they should probably be mmore spread out tho, if you are taking 300g of protein for example that would best be split equally between 6 meals
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.
If you can manage to pack in 300g of protein in one sitting I commend you for having a ridiculously huge stomach! I've always wondered about this too but I think it's biologically impossible to eat that much at one time without vomiting immediately. Spreading it out over the course of the day would be way easier for the body to handle. Scientifically, who knows...mrRuckus said:Why?
