"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.

Here is a great way to get your pasta carbs in a healthy way with no grains.

I buy brown rice spaghetti noodles. They taste better than regular pasta and I can show you how to reduce the calories by 50% or more.

When you cook the noodles add a tablespoon of coconut oil when it starts boiling. This sets it up to turn the starch sugars to resistant starch.
When the noodles are done you rinse them and put them into the fridge in a covered container for a minimum of 12 hours. This restructures most of the starches to resistant starch.
Resistant starch is not digestible by our bodies but it is really good food for your gut bugs in your intestines. Very good food. It keeps your gut health in top form.

When I’m ready to eat it, I put it back in a pan of boiling water for a minute or so to reheat it.

I buy Sprouts Italian Herbs sauce. There’s no sugar, vegetable oils or sh!t like soy in it. It’s fantastic tasting.

Enjoy
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

So I guess 'Resistant Starch' is the new Vegan/Keto/etc.?

I don’t know. I’m a modified version of KETO. But you can cook rice with coconut oil added and cool it off. The structure of rice brings about resistant starch on its own.
There’s plenty you can read on it. It forms naturally by just cooling off rice on its own but is greatly accelerated by adding coconut oil in the cooking process.
You get all the nutrients of rice without the excess starch sugars.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Please enlighten me. What's wrong with "grains"?
This is a very large but scientifically definitive subject. An easy search. Think good insulin control.
Of course go with what you want. I don't tell people what they should do.
Suffice it to say that grain agriculture, even though it helped build civilization, was the worst mistake of the human race.

Yeah...there seems to be "scientific studies" for just about everything these days.

"Good insulin control" I have no idea what this means and I'm not convinced it matters that much.

People love to complicate things.

I eat rice 1-2 per day, brown or white...does not matter. I'll spare you my photos (I've posted them many times on SS) but I will tell you that at 48 years old I'm ripped and muscular and I've never been advised or sought medical treatment for insulin control.
Fine by me. :) carry on. You already have your own solution and opinion.

Every few years there seems to be some kind of new health gimmick

It's all bull. Everything in moderation is fine. Even water can kill you if you over do it
LMAO

Somebody please prove the “everything in moderation” theory to me.
I call it a bullish!t rule.
Moderation = mediocre, not my kind of life. To apply that stupidly and across the board...is really dumb.
 

"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.

Oh then you might be close to me. I'm 55 and ripped. Did the Appalachian trail in 4 1/2 months from Georgia to Maine. Participate in land navigation competitions in the Rocky Mountain region. So pardon me If I am not overly impressed. I've pretty much seen it all. If you are in the condition and performance level of let's say, Cameron Hanes or someone like that, then feel free to show off. Put your money where your mouth is.
There's always talk and then there's performance.
Brown rice is rice with the protective covering still on the grass seed. White rice has had it removed. So white rice is actually better as it doesn't have anti-nutrients still covering the rice.
