"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

lay off the protein for a while and consult with a doctor before starting again

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.
