"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.

I went to get gas after my workout and saw when I was paying these Met-rx Protein Plus bars. I have always heard two different stories about these protein bars but I figured i would ask you guys if they are worth it or not. This is the nutrition facts for the bar:

Serving size: 1 Bar (3 oz---85 g)
Total Calories: 330
Calories from Fat: 80
Total Fat: 9 grams (saturated fat 4.5 g)
Total Carbohydrate: 32 grams (on front of wrapper it says 4 net carbs. What is that?)
Dietary Fiber: 2 grams
Sugars: 10 grams
Protein: 32 grams

Is this particular bar any good or a waste of money. I figured I could just eat one after I worked out. Your thoughts?
 

"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.

whey protein is cheaper, make yourself a shake - skimmed milk, evaporated milk, low fat cottage cheese and wafer thin chicken are awesome sources of cheap protein ;)
 

"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.

Funny,

Eggs, Kefir & tuna are superior sources of protein. And at least you can control that they are pure and not ridden with chemicals. Most of them, including the brand names, are sh*t protein anyway.

IMO, protein bars are a waste of money. I have not seen one that has pure ingredients, just does not package well. Whey & casein, you can make on your own, btw.
