"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.

Is there any major difference in the absorption process? In my case, Garlic Extract. I've heard conflicting veiws to what i'm sure is a very simple question.

Thanks in advance.
 

"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.

Personally, I enjoy real garlic more so but to answer your question gel caps are definitely best in breaking down quickly to get absorbed by the body. The problem is whether or not your body can process its content effectively.

Tablets on the other hand take longer to dissolve but for some minerals that's best. Take multi-vitamins, time release tablets are great to give your body the nutrients throughout an extended period of time. However you still should be concerned with their absorption rate because if they take too long you will just pass it without getting its full effect.

Wish the answer was as simple as the question...

A supplement in liquid form is generally the least effective means. Tablets, gel-caps and powders are the better to the best, respectively, means of getting supplements

Does this hold true for creatine also?
I ask because I switched to the liquid creatine for convenience.

On another level, what about crushing vitamins/minerals and adding to a drink/smoothy, Is this okay considering thier not going down with pure water?

Thanks
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Liquid creatine is worthless because it breaks down to creatinine within days when it is mixed into a liquid. You pretty much pay alot for nothing.

Agreed. Creatine monohydrate is the most effective form. It's powder. It works.

Liquid is the easiest to absorb.

Capsules are the next bext.

Tablets are the hardest to absorb.

With liquid the absorption rate is around 80-90%

With Capsules, around 60%

With tablets, around 30%

Liquid creatine should be avoided. It is much more likely to break down due to the instability of the product.

Read This Article on Liquid vs. Powder

I highly recommend powder supplements, if at all possible.

This idea makes me curious as well. Sounds like a good idea, but I've never heard of anybody actually doing this. Might as well just take the vitamin tablet or whatever before, during or after your shake.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Creatine ethyl ester is supposedly better.

Supposedly. The evidence so far shows that there is minimal, if any difference in absorption.
