"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

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
 

"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.

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.
