"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.

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)
 

"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 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 Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.
