"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I just started drinking green tea this week.

Do you really need to steep it in hot water?

Or can I just tear open the pouch and just dump the leaves into a pitcher of cold water? Which is what I'm doing now.
 

"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.

Hot water. Plus the sweat and increase in metabolism will help you with your body fat %. Not to mention you're getting a lot of water. I love green tea. You can heat it then let it cool if you want.

What? Why would hot water make you burn more calories?

Cold water needs heated by the body before it's absorbed so that's what would burn a very minimal amt of calories. Since when does sweating burn fat?

I'm just saying unless it's brewed and steeped you won't derive all the benefits of green tea. I remember being told doesn't matter if you like it cold but you need all the chemicals to come out of the leaves otherwise you'll just have water and leaves. I also remember learning in chem class hotter water has a higher solubility. Anyway Green tea is a known boost to metabolism in addition to the water it makes you consume.

My apologies if I confused you by saying sweating. The best way I can put it is now that Ephedra has run into a couple problems with the FDA most of those supplements have added green tea extract which is said to be just a little less effective.
