Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Like hay fed beef. The taste is truly in the cut of the beef not what's inside the eventual handbag.
you mean like corn fed beef?

hay = cut grasses (not exactly, but close enough)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I just cooked my first ground beef. Just shredded it in the pan, added some soy sauce and later some ketchup. Bought 6lbs of 12%fat or less from cosco and just cooked 2lbs of it. According to my math, every half pound is about 40-44g of protein so I'll be aiming for a half pound of ground beef per beef meal.

My question is do any of you have any special technique for removing the grease? I managed it with a slotted spoon.. so I got most of the grease out.. but I figured some of you have been cooking much longer then I so you might have a quicker/more efficient way. :)

"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.

Thats a good idea, the only problem I see with me doing that is I'd then need a funnel so as to make sure the grease goes into the can and not down the drain (I put the grease in used soup cans and then chuck em when they harden).

we just got $300 dollars worth of meat as a gift from omaha steakhouse.

it's soooo good.
we got fillet minions, top sirloin, newyork strip, rib eye....

but why do you guys buy ground meat? i think it tastes a lot better if it's a whole chunk.... is it bad for you or something?

Yes. As the fat congeals it will clog the drain. If it's a house you own and need to pay for repairs, don't put it in the drain.

If it's an apartment where the Maintenance people are a phone call away, fvck it.

having made that phone call several times in different apts. due to previous residents' misbehavior...yuck. and this from a guy whose handle involves karma? heh.

whole chuck is more expensive partly b/c you can see exactly what it is. ground meat can be.....anything. old dairy cows, etc. that's how they keep the price per pound so low. :eek: then again i'm not really that picky :D
 

"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.

Upon reflection, I'll rephrase.

If you live in an apartment complex and don't give a sh!t about the condition you live in or the Management, drop the sh!t down the drain.

Throttle, I didn't know you were a handy man :rock:

yah the maintenance guys for my apartments when i was an undergrad said most calls related to three preventable things:

- people pouring grease & other inappropriate junk down the kitchen drain.
- people using "1000 flushes" and similar products (they apparently work great until they don't, and then they can really mess up a toilet).
- long haired people (mostly women) clogging up the shower drain.

i will add two more:
children flushing things down the toilet and women insisting that their tampons can be flushed

however, if you use dish soap and bleach down your drain, the grease usually does not back up very bad. i bring this preventative stuff home now and then and i hardly ever have to repair anything.
