"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.

Im on the market to pick up a new multi-vitamin. I was wondering if there are certain brands, any of you recommend, or certain qualities on the back label i should be looking for?
 

"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.

Look for one without iron. If like me you eat a ****load of red meat, you'll be getting more than enough iron from your diet. Too much iron can lead to iron overload. I decrease my iron levels by taking calcium or drinking tea with meals, (tannins inhibit iron absorption) and by giving blood as much as possible. Other than that, a few other things you should be looking out for are:

Magnesium/Zinc etc. in forms other than 'oxide', (oxides don't absorb for ****)
Selenium
High B-vitamins
Other decent antioxidants
Non-synthetic forms of Vitamins A + D
Digestive enzymes

NOW ADAM is decent and cheapish and it's what I use. Beverly International Super Pack is good apart from the iron.

Personally I also take extra magnesium and vitamin C.

Many of these vitamins contain megadoses of b-vitamins..which you don't need, but it is cheap to include. you don't need 3,000% of the USRDA for b-vitamins, I think 400-500% of the USRDA is much more reasonable.

Try New Chapter Organics organics. no iron in the mens formulas. their formulation makes alot of sense, and is very bioavailable.

FYI: New Chapter Organics makes the Organic vitimens for the inhouse vitamen shoppe brand.

'every man' and 'every man one/day.' I like the 'every man' which is 3 pills a day.

I also like shaklee products. they actually do peer-reviewed research. not cheap, but excellent quality.

heck for cheap insurance take a 1-2 Centrum a day. If you body is deficent it will absorb if needed...
