"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.

ok thanks

can you give me an example of a low carb diet. What exactly shouldn't I eat?
 

"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.

Are we allowed to cook the eggs? I put Olive oil in a pan, put some onions in the pan, stir till lightly light brown, then put the eggs in there, and stir, till golden brown.

I also put salt and milk in my eggs when I'm scrambling them is that healthy? I also put pepper and tapatio hot sauce on the eggs. Is anyone of this acceptable?
all of that is fine, but you're now working on a different diet. effort meant a whey shake with raw eggs in it. there's a reason he labeled this 'simple starting diet' -- it's really straight forward.

i discovered once that unsalted butter makes eggs stick less, if you're cooking them a lot. i add a bit of whole milk, half and half or heavy cream in my scrambled eggs, depending on what's around. makes 'em creamy.

Also for the beef, how should it be cooked?
any way you want. easiest way is to brown some ground beef in a fry pan with a bit of olive oil (the higher the fat content, the less oil you need), add whatever flavors you like, heat up some veggies separately and combine for a beef + veggies meal.

If I'm trying to lose weight(fat), should I drink a protein shake?
they can be great for fat loss IF you are getting ones that aren't loaded down with fat & sugar.

"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.

what are the ingredients in the shake for the shake+eggs?
i know some people like to put in many things in there, such as pb, oats, fruit, etc. or are you referring to just whey+water?
just out of curiosity, what's the purpose of the eggs, other than its anabolic effects? reduce absorption rate?

"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.

Here's a helpful tool for figuring out just how much you really need to eat.

Here's the Harris Benedict Formula for Men:
BMR = 66 + (13.7 X weight in kilos) + (5 X height in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)

Then you need to factor in your activity level.
If you are Sedentary (little or no exercise)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.2
If you are Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.375
If you are Moderately Active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.55
If you are Very Active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/week)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.725
If you are Extra Active (very hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.9

Here's an example:
You are 25 years old
You are 6 feet tall
Your weight is 220 pounds
Your BMR is 66 + (1370) + (914) - (170) = 2,180 calories
Here's my calculation:

I'm roughly 20 years old
5'9"
185lbs
BMR is 66 + (1150) + (875) - (136) = 1,955 calories

Use the activity calculation with the answer. From the chart, estimated activity is BMR x 1.60.

MR = 1,955 x 1.6
MR = 3,128 calories per day.

good to know. not 100% accurate, but its a fairly good indicator.

It depends on goals you have I think.

If you are looking to bulk I would say 2-3 scoops whey, water, 4 eggs, 1 cup oats, 1/2 cup berries or a banana, 1 serving nat peanut butter + taurine would be a good starter shake.

Some simple shakes that did the job for me awhile back were

preworkout

water
1 scoop whey isolate(30g)
1 scoop creatine ethyl ester(30g)
1 scoop glutamine(5g)

postworkout

water
2 scoops whey isolate
2 scoops glutamine

--

Personally I don't like the texture of mixing oats with the shake, I used to down 1/2 a cup of oats preworkout though, and 1 cup postworkout. Sometimes had a piece of fruit(apple, banana) preworkout if I was feelin a little sluggish.

People also seem to add raw eggs and peanut butter to their shakes, but I never really bothered with that stuff.

Fitday = lame. Useless for people looking to gain weight, won't even let you try to put in a higher weight as a goal. High-larious.

Anyone know a better fitness tracker?
 

"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.
