"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.

Besides the vitamins and roughage...I read that it it good to eat fruit like strawberries or apple in the morning inorder to replinish liver gylcogen and prevent muscle cataboism later in the day.

Thoughts would be great!
 

"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.

Fruit is always good to eat, but it's by no means the difference between keeping and losing muscle.

Concentrate on the basics, bloody hell, this is a really minor detail ..

Unless you intend to make an entire meal out of fruit, having an apple or whatever with breakfast is perfectly fine.

I don't like to eat too much fruit in the day because it lowers your testosterone levels a bit.......but i do like to eat sliced peaches and an orange before I go for 1. energy and 2. Insulin is the only horomone in the body to decrease with exercise so eating fruit before running is always a kick.

If this is true then why do you and Manueva profess it to be so effective?

owned..yep!
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I never advocated fruit before cardio, it was always empty stomach - I'm currently trying manuva's theory to see if it makes a difference. I'd never heard of it before.

And even if it does make for more efficient fat burning I still wouldn't say that it's THE difference, maybe you burn another 100 calories of fat this way, over time this adds up.. but it still won't be a significant difference at all, however if it is then yeah, my opinion will change.

You really need to check dates of threads tj.

Incidentally, how come YOU eat fruit in the morning and then rubbish our opinion?

another aspect.... if adding a piece of fruit in the morning keeps you from wanting to puke, or gives you that little "boost" while not stopping fat loss, or even helping it... then it's like anything else that keeps you comfortable in your life. Keep to things that feel cool!
