"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I know that there is nothing wrong with red meat, but I always heard ham is unhealthy because pigs eat just about anything thing, so the meat isn't healthy.
 

"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.

Surely there livers would filter out the toxins etc. This sounds like a myth to me.

And pigs will probably be fed in similar respects to other animals. I watched this programme called Kill it, Cook it, Eat it. They were slaughtering pigs live and the guys were very meticulous in the whole process. They checked the insides etc for signs off damage/disease. Any hint of dissatisfaction and they aren't approved to be sold.

Dunno, I love pork and eat it when I can.
It does require more cooking than other meats
due to the presence of certain parasites in swine.

I don't think it has to do with pigs eating anything....
ever see cattle or sheep or freakin' fish? Talk about
eating anything. Compared to most other livestock, swine
are remarkably similar to humans, physiology-wise.

Pork is great and I think it has gotten a bad rap
due to certain religious "sectors" which I won't
even begin to detail :crackup:

Perhaps you're talking about deli ham?

deli meats in general are bad because of the nitrates and subsequent nitrites, as well as some other chemicals that shouldn't be consumed by any living being.

I think its a decent food product.

Not sure if it really has any benefits though if you are either trying to gain weight for bodybuilding or even just trying to lose weight.

It just seems like one of those foods that doesn't really help either goal very much but doesn't necessarily hurt those goals either.
 

"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.

ham is unhealthy to the extent that it contains sodium nitrate/nitrate, msg, etc.

it has a bad rap b/c it is relatively fatty, but most people don't realize that half that is monounsaturates (the main component of olive oil).

it also gets a bad rap for being fairly high in salt -- as are all preserved meats. unless you're living off it, this shouldn't be a big deal.
