"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.

Anyone know any good carb free recipes?

I'm thinking of a beef stew recipes without flower, potato or tomato etc. But don't know how to do it.

I'm just sick of eating meat by itself.
 

"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.

beef burgers with cheese.
chicken wings/legs with skin.
bacon and eggs.

you're always gonna have SOME carbs in a recipe if only trace (from vegetables etc). try to keep each meal to 5-10g of vegetable carbs max and you should be okay.

I should of stated in the OP.

I'm trying to slowly move away from frying foods and cheese. I have a acne problem that is under control but when these things are cut my skin is beautiful.

I will not do anything to sacrifice my clean bulk though

scramble the eggs, the beef, bacon and chicken can be grilled (or in case of chicken, roasted as well).

what do you fry your food in?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

try butter or coconut oil and see if it makes a difference.

otherwise stick it out til your acne clears up, it will.

egg stew. Just throw some eggs into hot or boiling water. Add whatever herbs/spices/meats/veggies you want.

I can't use butter because anything dairy or wheat causes acne volcanoes. But I will look into this coconut oil.

haha, do you mix the eggs into the water? or do you let them poach?

wolf, if your allergies are so severe this is why you overtrain easily.

you have to cut out all wheat and dairy from your diet, period.

base your diet around meat, poultry, eggs, fish, vegetables and fruit and the appropriate oils.
 

"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.

Yes I've come to realize this. It would be good if you could help me out with food suggestions for my carb up days(Saturday).

Olive oil if fine. It's just the frying of oils.

thanks

I have a friend who developed an allergy to wheat when he was 19. Maybe you're in the same situation.

I sure am, also oats, dairy and maybe gluten. So if I go out anywhere I have to cart stakes around with me. lol. There is seriously nothing for me to eat if I go on a holiday.

I haven't been diagnosed or anything because I hate stupid doctors! I really can't stand them! I have only ever been misguided by doctors.

for your carb days I'd go with fruit, potatoes, and sweet potatoes as these are 'natural' carbs. wholegrain rice is also fairly inoffensive as far as allergic reactions go but you'll have to try it and see

basically no oats or breads.
 

"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.
