"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.

My crack head friend told me McDonalds uses 98% lean beef.:crackup: Is this true and if not what %lean is it?
 

"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.

Even if its true its loaded with sugar so it kind of defeats the purpose even if the meat itself is healthy.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Doesn't matter how lean it is. The fact that their beef is injected with hydrogen oil is enough to let me know that it's crap.

it's 83% lean for most of their patties, a bit leaner for quarter-pounders. although the real trouble with most of their sandwiches is the white bun.

it's true that no matter what you eat at McD's you get at least a little bit of trans fats.

the standard patties (hamburger, big mac, etc) do not have any trans fats but the standard buns do.

the new angus "premium buns" do not...but the patties DO. oops.

also their fried sandwiches & fries are fully of trans fats, in spite of long running promises to switch to another oil blend.

I'm not sure if that applies to European countries as I thought most European countries banned trans fats.

Do you mind linking the info on that? I know some frozen burgers at Sam's Club even have trans fat. I'm not too sure why McDonald's would care if theirs do.

I wouldn't worry too much about it as you should be at home grilling most of your meals anyway. Even if Mcdonalds or some other fast food joint claims they are "low fat" you should still be cooking most of your meals anyway. If you want to have an occassional cheat meal go ahead but just under moderation.

For the record, here's a website you can go to and get all of the nutritional facts from the major fast food chains to see for yourself what you are eating:

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

blink, you implied that they inject the patties with partially hydrogenated oils, which is not true. most meat products contain a small amount of trans fats naturally, which have never been shown to be harmful. this is one reason why food labeling rules in the US allow amounts under 0.5 grams per serving to be reported as 0 grams. Canada, among other places, does not allow this.

and yes all my claims assume you're in the US, bros across the pond will need to adjust their expectations accordingly.

I know for a fact that Greece has banned McCrap from their country and majority of fast food restaurants.
