"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.
protein shake to build up muscles?

"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.
Doesn't work like that.
Your body does not actually need that much protein. You probably get enough in your diet already. 0.8g/lb of lean body mass experiments show. Count everything, fruits, juices, veggies.. etc.
You need calories to build that muscle. Try not to have them in the form of carbs. Activating your insulin is what puts the pounds on. That's what insulin does. Stores carbs as bodyfat for later use.
Try adding milk to your diet. A litre spread through the day everyday, homogenized for extra calories. You can also use plant and nut butters, oils like coconut oils, etc. It's hard to eat enough calories but its easy to eat them in the form of fat.

Milk rules... I drink a metric arseload of it. Can't recommend it enough.
I mainly use protein shakes as a source of extra calories before and after workouts and in place of meals. They tend to not have much fat in them, and fewer carbs than you would get if you ate a whole meal.

Protein is great for post workout because of it's absorbtion rate. Otherwise I drink a few a day for the calories, and in case I can't get in my daily steak and chicken.
These guys are right though, calories are your answer. Check out the vault for some good Post Workout and Diet threads.

Some sort of workout is required. That part is important.
"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.
A good whey/milk protein is great way to add some extra protein to your diet.
Check out trueprotein.com, there stuff is top notch.
Alle Gore-> that 0.8g of protein/lb is absolutely and entirely undershooting optimal. Yes that much protein MAY build muscle but it has been found for athletes looking to remain in a positive protein balance aka add some muscle.... to eat from 1-1.5g/lb of LEAN BODY MASS. 0.8/LB will work good for a chubby guy, but tell a skinny guy to do that and you are just setting him up for failure.

Nope. The study was done on college athletes. If you're interested in the paper, let me know. 0.8g/lb of bodyweight.eaturmcts said:
The reason most bodybuilders recommend up to 1.5g/lb of bodyweight is because protein is 'lean'. It's hard to digest and doesn't go straight to your gut like simple sugars and simple starches (white flour, potatoes... etc.).
The best diet change is not to eat way more protein, rather remove the simple carbs and add in more fat. Mostly from fruits and vegetables if possible.

The average person is recommended to consume 0.8g/lb. Weightlifters aren't the average person.
The RDA for the average person is 0.8g of protein per kilogram. For athletes its up to 1.8g per kilogram which is 0.8g/lb of bodyweight.TyTe`EyEz said:

What you guys have to realize is that muscle is mainly water, and the rest doesn't take much protein to build and repair. What the body does need in large amounts is a clean source of calories in the form of good fats and low GI carbohydrates.
"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.
