"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.

It's called a refeed day. Keeps your thyroid from shutting down.
 

"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.

I agree with sstype, although he may be alittle extreme. But who honestly doesnt know this? If you've read DIESEL's guide to bulking, or know any common knowledge about bodybuilding, you know its best to stay away from fatty/unhealthy foods. You dont even need to name them "wussy foods"... all you need to know is that they are bad for your health. Plain and simple.

As for the day off, I always thought it was to help you stay motivated. Kinda like it being super hard to go cold turkey, but if you have a cheat day, its easier to deal with. If you go Nazi on it, it may work for a short time, but after awhile you're bound to break down and binge.

Reread my post. If you are in some circumstance where your only lunch available consists of hamburgers and french fries, sure go for that hamburger and few fries and have a nice glass of water with it. But dont go OVERBOARD.

RESIST the temptation! Only sissy girls binge on cake and ice cream. So be a fycking man for once and say no to yourself.

IMO, though, there really is no need for a "reward" grease burger or french cheesecake. The reward comes in the form of a much better looking body and healthier body!

Flame away...
They're not "wussy foods" and abstaining from them doesn't make you more of a man. You make it seem like just because those foods are actually enjoyable that that means you can't eat them and be a man. Come on. Loosen up some. You've got the right idea, but you're taking it to the extreme.
 

"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.

I agree that you should usually stay away from a lot of that stuff but every now and then it's not going to make any difference if you have it. And what's wrong with cheese? It has hella protein, like 7 grams or something per little slice (assuming you get the sliced cheese). Sure there's probably bad stuff in it but when you're bulking like me and have a fast metabolism then it doesn't really matter. That probably holds true for a lot of the other foods on your list too.
