"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.

"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
 

"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.

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.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
