"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
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.

Thanks
I needed to know that
(no I am not lying or being cynical because I was wondering about this awhile back but it don't matter because I don't like fast food anymore and I enjoy cooking my own food)

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
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.

I used to work there, I think the healthiest burger is McChicken without sauce.
But of course that tastes kind of plain.

Are home cooked hamburgers ok? Because I just ate 2 and my sides feel like there about to explode
This Times For Real, eating burgers is fine, its how the meal is structured at McDonalds that causes a huge spike in insulin and caloric intake.
A typical meal...
Medium Coke 210 calories, 53 gr. sugar
Big Mac 600 calories, 5 gr. sugar
Large French Fry 540 calories, 68 carbs
(although not sugar, the starch in french fries is metabolized faster than sugar, its like eating 68 grams of sugar, only worse.)
Thats a MODEST meal at McDonalds, and i'd be willing to bet some people do far worse.
In total, 1360 total calories, which is more than half of your total caloric intake. 126 grams of carbs that are instantly shot into your bloodstream which causes a sharp rise in insulin. Your cells can't use this energy fast enough and it stores it as fat.
On top of that, the fat is bad saturated animal fat that has no health benefits.
Do yourself a favor and skip McDonalds completely, its awful, awful food.

"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.

Pizza can be fairly alright, if you do it right.
I would certainly imagine that it's healthier to eat a decent pizza from a fast food place like pizza hut than to get a meal from mcdonalds. You've got an alright amount of complex carbs in the base, vege's ontop, cheese which has been cooked so you can sorta squeeze some of the fat out [yes, I'm that obsessed] etc. A good amount of protein from a pizza with a cheese and salami topping
It;s all relative though, so if you had a huge pizza it might balance out a bit.

McD's food is horrible
plus the horror stories that came from those places are just unbearable.
This post has reminded me of that law suit that the fat guy sued McD.'s because he got fat
