Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

milk is bad... then answer this

"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.

Are you guys aware that you can drink lactose-free milk? I have an extremely high level of lactose intolerance because I used to drink normal milk as a kid (my parents found out I was lactose intolerant when I was already 7 yrs old) and it fùcked me up. However, now I drink like 3 liters of lactose-free milk a day and I'm perfectly comfortable with that.

No lactose free milk isn't good for you.

No milk, however processed or unprocessed, is good for you. It's poison for your digestive system.

It's for infant cows, not humans. There is so much research out there for people interested in preserving their health. Try google for info, there's just too much to post here.
 

"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.

Whole milk and associated products with high 'butter fat' have alot of cholesterol and saturated fat.

Their was movement years ago to drink " 1% or less." Their is no reason to drink milk with more than 1% milk fat, skim is better.

Some arguement that it has some antibiotics and other 'hormones."

The enzyme lactase is produced by most babies, then the enzyme is no longer made beyond a certain young age. Most individuals (Not all) of Northern European & Slavic descent seem to continue to produce the enzyme throughout their lifetime, has something to do with the intimate association consuming milk products for many generations.

Actually it's the butterfat that makes milk products digestable hence why few people have problems with cheese (which I eat in large amounts because I'm weak like that). I can eat cheddar all day long but give me a glass of skim milk and well.. it gets messy. :D

As for antibiotics and other hormones, it's true that commercial dairies inject their produce with such, hence why children brought up on cow's milk have weak immune systems (and then get further prescribed antibiotics by doctors! lol). And this is to say nothing of the blood and fecal matter that makes its way into the milk we drink.

counterpoint to the thesis that "milk is poison"... if you're lactose tolerant, it absolutely is not. in fact, in some populations it appears to have given such a reproductive advantage that lactose tolerant individuals left TEN times as many descedents in some cases & the gene spread very rapidly.

Don't drink milk if you're lactose intolerant.

Think about this for a second... milk is one of the few substances out there that we consume that is specifically designed for consumption by a mammal. Most of the other stuff we consume is not "intended" for us to consume. Many of the most healthy foods for us (I'm particularly thinking here of leafy greens) do their damndest to poison us, but we've developed adaptations to make them digestible!
 

"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.

I've always had skim milk with my protein shakes. I don't see what the big deal is about milk and what not.
