"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

i know olive oil is good, but it loses it's omega-3 properties when you cook it.

my question is, if you do cook it, is it still good for you?
 

"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.

Cooking any type of food diminishes nutrients. The higher the temperature, the more loss. If your oil smokes excessively when you cook, turns really dark or greatly changes in taste, you're cooking at too high of a temperature. Keep the temperature moderate and you'll retain most of the nutrients overall.

olive oil has nearly zero omega-3 polyunsaturates. it is predominantly monounsaturates. francisco has the money advice. don't let it smoke, use as little heat as possible. it's definitely still good for you cooked, very few people use olive oil for significant non-cooked applications beyond drizzling it on bread.

for high heat applications, use a more stable oil like peanut oil. for example, if I'm going to pan sear a steak or pan fry taquitos -- it's definitely peanut oil.

(i would use lard, which contrary to popular conception is higher in monounsaturates than anything else, but it's hard to find unadulterated lard & I don't cook enough pork to render it myself)
