See what I'm saying? She may be a major bytch. A battleaxe. But as long as she's using it in your favor it's not bad.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
My capacity for work is diminishing
- Thread starter ImTheDoubleGreatest!
- Start date
"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.
Yes, I think so. Did my mother do this? I think she is clever and they stayed together and my brother and I turned out alright.
The more I think of it, the more I realise how much of a chess game relationships are. With the other queen/king being society. It should always be "us" against "them". Unified force against outside detractors. A house divided can no longer stand.

This is how an intelligent women with good intentions for her man behaves.
Some women are intelligent but selfish or evil or just using the guy.
Others aren't that intelligent but follow their emotions, the herd or they just evil or using the guy.
A woman who cares about you Will protect you.

Forgot about that ketogains page on social media. My cousin forwarded that plan to do their keto nutrition and try to retain muscle at same time. Also, I went looking for potassium chloride to start taking as it really helped her and her electrolytes, but the third pharmacist I've spoke to in a week, looked up MY last potassium results and said I was at 4.3, so apparently normal. I rhymed off the list of supplements I've got going on and he suggested I just try to stick faithfully to what I've got and not add anymore at this time.
Interesting learning all this stuff, I love it.
its the most challenging substance to give up.
Another week and a half at 2 a day then 3 weeks at one a day then Decaf only for the rest of my life.
This is what I want, what I think I need. No headaches yet.
"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.

Are you smoking weed? Weed reduces "MWC" ( Max Work Capacity ). It's been researched scientificially. It means peak performance becomes blunted, and overall workload is less. The exception is in pain management, where pain prevents the work from being done. The other exception which is not discussed, is some folks are literally "crazy" when not high, so they smoke to level them out, and their performance and training is done "not hi", but they are high at other times so they can get along with folks.

When your "on point" as an ADULT, you don't even need coffee. Decaf is a great thing to do when you don't need coffee.
ADULT....I certainly hope I'm past the 12 yr old mentality I know I've slipped into before.
Better, deeper sleeps....better homeostasis....2 brothers at work were just asking how I'm doing in today's heat and high UV sun today outside....not even red in the face...pink and healthy....coffee has been strangling my chemical balance. Fvck coffee. What a drug.
Decaf will trick me into thinking there's been no change and it will work...I know it will. This was the first hurdle my dietitian encouraged me to surpass earlier this year. I'm slow.

Decaf isn’t healthy due to the processing. You’re better off drinking a lighter caffeinated tea.

Ok, all adults won't master their mindset. Once you've mastered certain parts of your mindset, which keep you motivated, coffee is of no benefit.
"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.

Good to know. Seems anytime we introduce processing it's just not as good for us.

Coffee does have health benefits in longevity, physical performance, and cognitive performance.
so does red wine but can't do that drug either
I heard that too you're right

Who said so?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
can't remember but about 15 years ago they (msm) were saying it had anti cancer and dilating blood vessels effect and mentally relaxing effects.
Whenever I'd read or hear references to the 'mediterranean' style of eating they'd throw in the propaganda about red wine. Its got the same characteristic as blueberries and dark chocolate.

Your body is telling you to back off and instead of listening you keep pushing it harder. Which makes it push back harder.
Let your body rest in terms of lifting weights. Ease back the number of sessions and training volume. Do some pilates, some yoga, band work, bodyweight exercises, etc.
Your CNS needs a break. When your body is trying to tell you something it is very important to listen to it.
