"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.

I'm 5'8 and a shade over 200 lbs. I need to lose a lot of fat. I plan on following a weight lifting routine from Men's Fitness. I of course want to add strength. For my meals, should I eat big still to lose weight? Lots of tuna, beef, chicken, etc. As long as its clean?
 

"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.

What's your body fat at? Eat clean with lotsa protein and do cardio... I'd go with atleast 200 g protein per day...more if you can do it. Just do your best to make sure you have clean/lean protein sources.

if you want to be sure you'll lose fat, you've got to count calories & measure this against your energy needs. for a while i thought i could get away with not doing that, but other methods (low carb, etc.) can only take you so far.
