"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.

I recently started a lifting routine and started a high protein diet. Now I knew ahead of time that a high protein diet makes you not have the best sh!ts, but mine have been god awful lately. Nothing but brown colored water, and it comes all of the sudden. What should I do to help alleviate this problem?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I have a high protein diet and I don't have what you're describing.

You didn't eat just whey powder did you?


And yes. Consult a doctor. Don't be stupid.

Dont rely on Protein powder for everything lol. Have a shake or 2 a day.
 

"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.

some people call this diarrhea. go back to your previous diet, get re-hydrated before you kill yourself, and add protein back in only slowly. milk and whey shakes should be at the top of your list of suspects.

I only have one shake a day at most. I drink plenty of water (about a gallon a day). I think what I'm doing wrong, after some research, is that I'm not getting nearly enough fiber. So it's time for me to go and buy some oatmeal and see if it helps!

Yeah if your having 1 scoop a day, you shouldn't be getting this.

Eat your veggies, and mabye add in some oats to your protein shakes.

Protein powders have been mentioned, try keeping your protein sources mainly whole, eggs, beef extra, is a good idea.

Simply from the extra amount of calories and food though it puts strain on the digestive system. Most people are deficient in hydrochloric acid as it is, with the extra food it only makes the problem worse.

I would highly recommend getting some hydrochloric acid with pepsin if you are trying to gain muscle.

You can do this test to workout exactly how much you need:

But even getting some and adding it in and making changes over time will work.

You could also have food allergies, although that probably isn't the problem if the symptoms only started after you increased how much food you eat.
 

"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.
