"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

i'm skeptical...you're adding an additional cooking step (re-warming) plus freezing for however long... sounds like a recipe for breaking down the extra nutrional value, extra fiber, and superior taste, which is the whole reason to bother with steel cut. of course, you could just try it, and see what happens. i'm pretty sure that they would keep pretty much indefinitely (at least 6 months, preceeding statements about lost nutritional value notwithstanding)
 

"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.

Blend on high for a few minutes. Enjoy!

(24 / 93 / 41) or approximately 752 calories. If too many, cut the amount of oats in half.

dont they just sink to the bottom? they do for me

Make sure you have enough water and you'll have to shake the bottle up and swirl them around to keep them from sinking. This is the eaiest way i've found for eating a lot of oats.

oh sure, i just don't see the huge advantage over otherwise far inferior sorts of oatmeal. you're basically making your own instant oatmeal, with all the attendant loss of fiber, taste, etc. but best to try for yourself and compare.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I've found that I like adding oats to just about everything. From scrambled eggs, to tuna salad, to peanut butter sandwiches.

When I made my instant oatmeal this morning, it was the regular kind, and I thought to myself--
