"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I heard that you should drink a lot of water when lifting to help digest all the protein you should be eating. How much water should you drink per gram of protein?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

From the word of DC himself:

1g protein per lb = 1 gallon of water per day
1.5g protein per lb = 1.5 gallon of water per day
2g protein per lb = 2 gallons of water per day

This is the rule, no exceptions at all. Otherwise you'll have a whole host of problems.

Incidentally this imo should be taken ON TOP of what you'd normally drink during the day, especially if it's a hot day, you ate a lot of spicy food, etc.

Sodas etc do NOT count towards the count but flavoured water does (0 kcal stuff).

does milk count too? because it's 80% water, but it also contains 30g of proteins x liter...


i noticed that since i started to eat sh1tloads of meat and milk, i've been pissing A LOT more... expecially in the morning... i usually have to piss 5 times from 7am to 14am... is it normal or too much? after lunch it decreases, but i usually urinate a dozen times a day or so... how many times a day do you urinate on average?
 

"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.

Anything that contains water (including vegetables and fruit :p) counts. But sodas are junk to be avoided (esp coke - which - despite being a dring - has diurectic characteristic).

The rule is to drink often, and more then less. While I'd say that 2 gals/day is a bit excessive, 1-1.5 is usually enough.

However - I know people who could go through as much as 4-5 gallons during hot days (one guy is a pro cyclist, other a runner).

However - if during the day you feel thirsty, then you drank - TOO LITTLE - no matter how much was it.

Yea - incredible - isn't it?

Dunno much about the runner, but in the case of a cyclist it was a 125mile MTB marathon in about 35 celsius.

Usually he does a 100-150 km/day in the summer, and really hot days he drinks like mad.

i couldn't figure out myself drinking more than a couple of gallons a day... but if you think about it, when you cycle under 35° for 150 km, you sweat at least 3 gallons away...
