"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.

"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.

Hehe, you're not losing meat from cooking, it's mostly just water leaving => thus your cooked beef = lighter than your raw beef.

You might lose a bit of beef when you're cooking if you get some stuck in your pan or some daft reason like that

The fat is what melts off and turns from solid to liquid. So when you drain the meat, yeah you're losing some of the original mass. Depends on if you want the fat or not.

I personally recommend using the grease for vegetables, but I'm a country redneck.

oh yeah, my bad, fat loss as well. When you're cooking your ground beef drain the (liquid) off because that **** turns back into an aweful fatty paste if it solidifies again while you're eating it.

But you can keep it if you have a use for it like speed dawg :D

hmmm. so 1lb or raw meat cooked will end up like 14oz (if not fat) and all the protein will still be there?

It depends on the type of beef, like ground beef or ground chuck, different fat content. But you wont lose any protein.

It depends on the quality of the beef as well. Low quality beef will have more fat and less beef. Ergo, low quality beef has a lower yield % than high quality beef.

BTW Grade A Alberta beef is the best.

bull****. fat content & the quality of the meat are wholly unrelated. you can get great fatty meat from great cows, and really ****ty lean meat from ****ty cows.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
