"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.

A diet I've been following for my bulk. Pretty high calorie. I'm 6' 2" and 180lbs currently. The picture includes what I eat throughout the day. Let me know what you think!

Blue numbers indicate protein coming from a NON-PLANT source. Red numbers indicating calories from fat and carbs. My goal is essentially to have enough calories from carb/fat to cover my daily maintenance and use no protein for energy. Of course I probably won't use ALL that protein for rebuilding muscles or bodily functions so I'll take a hit of fat from the excess calories it provides.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

For once on this forum, I can say you have your **** figured out. You have it mapped out pretty well. Check out http://www.fitday.com You might find it a bit more useful than your spreadsheet :). (free btw)

Hey thanks man. It's actually based off of a diet that EFFORT posted for someone else. Loved the simplicity of it. My major dilemma was whether to have the extra protein or stick to 1g/lb. I decided I can deal with the fat and be 100% sure I'm getting enough.

I've had a membership on that site for a while, only issue being the food choices they have don't really reflect reality in my case. Different brands, and more importantly my food is Canadian xD.

Are you gaining from it?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Keep at it. When the gains stop increase each portion by 1/2. So a meal of 1can of tuna and 1 cup of a rice would change to 1.5can tuna, 1.5cups rice.

Diet looks solid man... only thing to consider... perhaps adding more calories/carbs?

I'm on a bulking diet myself, and my protein intake sits around 300 g w/ 4000-4500 cals. I've put on around 10 lbs in the past 3 weeks... 168 to 178, but I'm only 5'8".

Carbs have a protein sparing effect as you know, so properly timed natural source carbs will definitely help you to gain muscle. Just my 2 cents... you're gaining really well so far, so stick to what's working. You can tweak it later on when you think you need more.

Good job and keep it up!
