"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.

Ummm, this might be kinda stupid to ask, but do you all still take your whey protein on your off days? And if you do, since you arent working out, what is the best time to take it? Thanks alot in advanced.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Just consume as much protein as you do on your work out days. I've never heared about anybody that they took less protein on their off days...besides it wouldnt make too much sense to me as these are the days when your muscles grow. Maybe in theory it'd be a bit better to consume a bit more protein on your training days because your muscles are in need of protein after being "destroyed" by your workout, but on the other hand you could as well say that you should take at least as much protein on your off days as these are the days when your muscles really grow (during rest)...but I wouldnt overanalyze all this I think itd hardly make a difference.

Best time to take your (whey) protein: during the whole day, not just all at once. So drink like a protein shake after getting up in the middle of the day and before going to sleep..or just eat 6 or so healthy meals a day which are high in protein plus drink some milk (maybe mixed with a tad bit whey protein ;-)) and youll be fine. I say this because your muscles need protein throughout the whole day. I heared a good time to take your protein (maybe a few glasses of milk because milk protein is consumed really slowly) was right before going to bed because your body doesnt get protein during the night but should get protein every few hours (thats y u gotta take it throughout the whole day).
