"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.

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?
 

"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.

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 Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
