"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.

Has anyone used Nitro-Tech and believe that it is actually superior to regular Whey Protein? I'm a bit skeptical personally, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with it.

Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a good site that sells Nitro-Tech or Protein Bars for a better price than the rest?

Feel free to PM it to me if you're worried about the mods deleting it considering it spam or something.

Thanks.
 

"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.

Don't buy ****ing Nitro Tech. It's a bodybuilding joke.

I appreciate the response, but I am curious as to your reasoning.

Nitrotech makes the claim that their protein contains a higher amount of the essential amino acids and this is more important for your body to encourage protein synthesis. On paper, it sounds like decent science, but have you or someone you known tried it and been unsuccessful in some way? Or does the compound not actually contain what is advertised?

Who cares? It's all the same stuff except in a different packaging. Just get SOMETHING.

I already have SOMETHING, I got a 10 lb bag of whey from optimum nutrition which will be finished soon. I am trying to decide if the extra $$ for this Nitro Tech stuff is worth it, because it makes some big claims over standard whey.
 

"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.

You want something that is better?

Get a gainer protein. It should have complex carbs and whey protein. That's it. I use cytogainer. it has lots of calories(complex), and protein. I also have a tub of regular whey in case I want more protein in my shake. The stuff is great. You can also get Classic Grow! by Biotest. That stuff is the best on the market. Little pricy, but the best.

There was an enormous thread on BB.com about this. Something like "All Muscletech opinions in here". I was naive enough to use their creatine back in the day when I started. Never again!

Thanks again for the response. By BB.com do you mean bodybuilding.com? I am going to see if I can find the thread.

"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.
