"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.

"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.

What's your evaluation on it? I use muscle milk, but i do get most of my protein from food... This product seems about as "natural" as you can get for a protein shake supplement.
It's the sh!t. Some of the cleanest powder on the market. Has the pre and probotics in it as well. Taste's pretty good too. RSP makes some quality product.

I've been told countless times when I was young that a "sane balanced diet" provides all the necessary nutrients needed...needless to say I was skinny far while following such diet.

Then I started eating "dirty" according to common thinking and added protein powders till reaching the suggest 1.5g X kg of bodyweight and guess what I got bigger and dry.

I really would like to know how guys who say that they dont need supplements to reach their macro can reach some many grams of protein by food alone, a 80kg guy needs from 110 to 130 grams of protein minimun to sustain a decent muscle mass and probably even more when cutting.

Now given that 100gr of chicken gets you 25gr of proteins, how much do you eat daily to reach that base? half kg daily?

I heard any possible bullsh1t about protein shakes getting your liver sick or creatine shrinking your d1ck...all coming from out of shape people ofc.

try Extend Pro Whey Isolate with 25g protein + 7g bcaa, choco lava flavor. Also, if you consider try to pair it with ACHV Balance LEANX for natural lean muscle complex. And... don't forget to get enough rest, eat a well balance nutrition foods. Good luck man!

Btw, if you want a pre/post workout slow digest mix, you can also try to blend a scoop of whey, oats, banana & peanut butter.

I use NutraBio's Protein supplements. Any supplements I use I get from that company (not plugging them, I just like the company).
 

"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.

I use the XTEND Pro Whey Isoloate protein powder, 25G protein, 7G bcaa and no artificial flavors (Gluten Free)

And Don't forget to eat a real food, it's time consuming to prepare but a good natural source of protein and other nutrients.

Read the ingredients. The less ingredients the better. Aim for whey isolate (not concentrate). Organic/grass fed is even better.

I use vegan protein. At least, that's what it says on it. I usually try to get enough protein with my meals, but if I don't have time, I make a protein shake. I also like to make baked goods with protein, which are delicious.

I use hemp protein, and put it in a shake with peanut butter, almonds, banana and a few other things. I don't suggest getting ALL your protein from meats, as that's basically just too much meat to eat on a daily basis.
