"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.

More Multivitamins when Bulking?

I noticed that lately my multi-vitamin (GNC Megaman Sport) is barely noticable as far as how it feels to be affecting me.

I have been bulking though, with a 5000cal/day consumption so could this possibly be the reason the multi's are not feeling very effective? Thoughts?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Are multivitamins supposed to make you feel different? Thought they were just for overall healthiness.

the only thing i've ever noticed from a multi is a bit of a subjective energy boost probably due to the B-complex vitamins. i would imagine that this diminishes over time.

Do any of you just pee out most of your multivitamin? When I take one it looks like yellow gatorade with all those excess vitamins lol.

By taking a multi, you wont notice anything in the gym. Taking a multi has nothing to do with athletic performance (in any area) what so ever. Taking a multi will not make you faster, give you more strength, make you bigger, etc etc.

A multi vitamin is to supply you with nutrients for metabolic processes in the body, and the reason we take them is to get an adequate amount. Most of us take in a hair more just because we are very active. BUT at the same time too, we probably eat better than the average person, so we really dont need that much contrary to belief. You will have people take 1,000s of a % of something higher than they need ALL the time, and of lots of them, and for reasons unknown. A good multi as in one a day is fine.

In fact new research is coming out about how the more people take, the more problems they actually have. Some still sway the other way. There is no DEFINITIVE answer quite yet, but if an RDA is 100% of a nutrient, and you take 200-300% you should be just fine. People say... What does the FDA know about RDA? Again, it is 100%, and we take into consideration being very active, so we up it.

And to restore...what you are pissing out are your water soluble vitamins your body is not using. This is why it is of no use to over-do them. Your body is NOT utilizing them, and they are being excreted. So yes, part of the neon yellow is an excess of b-vitamins.

Throttle... B-vit do contribute to energy metabolically. But again, they contribute, not provide. And as far as diminishing, the only way to really get a benefit from them for that particular reason is INJECTION only as there is no other way for them (like B12) to be effective.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
