"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 haven't really been tracking my weight (i know i should, its just that i keep putting off buying a scale)

My Diet

Breakfast - oatmeal, 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 boiled eggs, tea w/ no sugar
Lunch - rice w/ chicken n veggies
Snack - shake w/ 3 eggs, 3 spoons powdered full cream milk, 1 teaspoon essence
Dinner - 2 slices whole wheat bread, chicken

This is what i eat on average, yes i know i need to eat more its just that i lack appetitite. I wake up too late to make the timings i see earlier in this thread . I'm trying to be extremely honest here cause i really wanna bulk up and im prepared to shed my old ways and take my diet serious.

I've read a couple of helpful books and the diet threads here so i plan to completely restructure my diet. Also how can i measure the nutritional content in food without labels, e.g rice and bread and veggies, fruits and stuff.
 

"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.

Of course it does. It helps keep you motivated, helps you communicate with others who can help you achieve goals when stuck, helps you keep track of your stats and what you did last week, gives motivation to others to start one and better their body...I mean there are tons of reasons to have a journal.

To see how to measure certain foods you can use this website -

Keep it up dude. And start eating like you outlined on the first page of your journal if you are serious about growth.
