"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.

In the film ROCKY, our hero breaks like, 7 eggs into a jug & downs them all... RAW.

Why does he do this? Are raw eggs actually good for you? are they better for you than cooked ones?
 

"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.

No. If you enjoy getting salmonella poisoning go ahead and start downing raw eggs.

It's just macho bullshyt.

I wouldnt be worrying too much about the whole raw egg salmonella thing.

When you carefully analyze the risk of contracting salmonella from raw eggs, you will find that it is actually quite low. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier this year (Risk Analysis April 2002 22(2):203-18) showed that of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, only 2.3 million of them are contaminated with salmonella.

So simple math suggests that only 0.00003 percent of eggs are infected. The translation is that only one in every 30,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella. This gives you an idea of how uncommon this problem actually is.

but why even risk it?

what is the point of eating raw eggs? If you can show me where it says that raw eggs are better than cooked eggs....I'm all ears.

Well, why don't you click on his link, silly!

It says some aminos are denatured by cooking the egg. Not a big deal, maybe theres more to it. Go there and check it out.
 

"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.

Your body can only assimilate about 30% of raw egg protein while the body can utilize around 80% of cooked egg protein. It has to do with the structural properties of the egg protein.

You can drink more protein than you can eat. I'd recommend drinking whey shakes instead. It's easier on the budget and doesn't taste like raw eggs.

Also, raw eggs are just quicker to eat: when was the last time it took you 10 minutes to make a raw egg soufflé? Oh yeah: never.

Rocky didn't have time to mess around with butter and flavor and whatnot, at any rate.

The problem with drinking whey shakes at times besides postworkout or breakfast when a quick flood of amino acids is required is that your body is only going to use roughly 30% of the protein to aid in protein synthesis while the other 70% or so will be burned as energy due to the short half life of whey protein. At most other times you want a slow burning protein which will have a sustained release of amino acids into the blood stream such as egg protein, casein, or meat proteins.

It's better to cook eggs because the heat breaks down the long chains of protein and they refold into more complicated chains, which is what happens with curds (cottage cheese) and yogurt (although this is done with bacteria).

More complicated chains means better protein.
 

"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.

Hold on, hold on. Half-life of whey? Like it's radioactive and randomly shooting electrons and splitting its nucleii? I'll give you a chance to explain yourself before I make fun of you.

Actually, according to chemical/physical entropy, everything will eventually reach the same inert state sometime down the road. Maybe whey will be inert sooner than "normal"?

Still not much of a call for a "half-life": it's not "radioactive".

A "half-life" is the amount of time it takes for half of a substance or entity to undergo some specified process. In nuclear chemistry, (radioactive) half life is defined, for a simple radioactive decay process, as the time required for the activity to decrease to half its value by that process. However, the phrase "half life" can be applied to other things aswell, such as the biological half life of a substance refers to the "time at which the amount of a biomolecule in a living organism has been reduced by one half". The phrase "half life" has also been used in finance and marketing :

"In marketing, half-life is a formula for estimating the total responses to be expected from a direct marketing campaign. The half-life of a catalog is the day when half of the consumer responses to the mailing have been received. Sears Canada studied the history of their sales data and found that their catalogs reached their half-life 20 days after being mailed, although the life of the catalog was actually several months. Knowing when a direct marketing campaign reaches the half-life point allows marketers to adapt more quickly to consumer demand. "

"In finance, the half-life of a mortgage is the date when half of the principal amount has been paid. Because of the way that interest is pro-rated (as a proportion of the total, paid more towards the first part of the life of the mortgage), the mortgage half-life date is generally more distant than the chronological half-way point in the total life of the mortgage. "

So you see, the term "half-life" does not only apply to nuclear chemistry but has been adopted by other fields of science as well. And if you do a search on google or wherever, you WILL see that proteins (casein, egg, whey etc) do have half lifes(a certain number of hours i think). I guess you can forego making fun of me. :D Peace.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Jesus christo whats wrong with this health forum? why is it that only mr boobs has heard of www.mercola.com. last time I checked, theres a fare share of articles on the benefits and safety of raw eggs - and directions on how to make sure the eggs are free of salamonilla - which for the record, is the wussiest of all bacterias, all you'll get is the craps.

"Dont be a foo - go to www.mercola.com and get the real deal on raw eggs" - Mr. T in a dream of mine a few weeks ago.
