"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 take protein shakes, but it gets old after awhile blending shakes. Are there any protein drinks on the market that are already mixed where someone doesn't have to mix the powder?
 

"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.

I want you to re-read the name you gave this topic and realise how stupid you made yourself sound.

Well, actually, there is. In our gym the boss stocks the fridge with drinks, and he buys 2 kinds: a general post-workout recovery drink, which has 50g of protein and 75g of carbs, and then a drink which is mostly protein, but does have some carbs in as well.

You should find such drinks on the internet...BUT, why bother? I never asked the gym boss or anyone else, but I doubt pre-made protein shakes are very cheap. It's probably more economical to just buy whey and mix up your own.

You don't need a blender, btw. As TyTe`EyEs said, get a shaker bottle. I have a Met-Rx shaker bottle which you put your protein and liquid into, put the lid on, then shake it up a bit. It works absolutely fine. It's one of these:

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
