"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.

Nutritional value of different cuts of steak

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Does anyone know what to look for when you are buying steak since they aren't marked with nutritional labels? Do certain cuts have less saturated fat? What are some of the best kinds to get?
I usually go for porterhouse or sirloin and cook the meat with the fat on, but cut it off before eating. I'm no expert, but I'm fairly sure these cuts are pretty lean. Rib eye is a very nice cut, but it does have a lot more fat.

Also when you cook the steak, only turn it once! Get the pan/grill nice & hot and throw it on. Turn when you see the blood just starting to come through the top side. When you see the juice starting to pool on the top of the (now cooked) top side, you're done. This process should take less than 10min and that's for a well-done steak.. I used to leave it for ages to make sure it's cooked and it used to be tough & as dry as old boots...

don't worry about saturated fat. balance your fats (add omega-3s), don't cut saturated fat.

eat all of them, figure out what you like, eat more of that kind.

slice your own off of the appropriate roast (always cheaper than pre-cut steaks).

You can usually tell my looking at them, which contain the most fat. Generally fillet and sirloins are the leanest cuts, but more expensive.

Personally, I stick to rump steaks just as long as I can find good quality ones.

Chuck is fattest & cheapest. Sirloin is leaner but more expensive.

As Throttle advises: eat saturated fats & balance them with omega3/9 (fish oil/olive oil). Saturated fat is good for your testosterone level.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
