..but I think I have high cholestrol. What's a good high protein diet fro lifting, that can help my cholestrol?
"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.
Took a break from lifting... ready to start again.

"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.

you THINK you have high cholesterol or you actually do?
exercise, a high fibre diet, weight loss (if applicable), no refined carbs and low carbs in general, and at least a moderate fat intake will reduce your cholesterol.
get some bloodwork if you think your cholesterol is high

Pretty sure it's high... I've had 6-7 eggs for months, I think that has something to do with it.

I find it highly unlikely that had anything to do with it, unless you have genetic cholesterol disorders. there's guys knocking back 2-3 dozen eggs a day and their cholesterol is in perfect order. the ingestion of dietary cholesterol should, if you are healthy, reduce your own levels or keep them the same at best.
what is your weight, bf% and daily diet and how often do you exercise.

I just had a conversation with a coworker who kept saying that eating the way I do (read high fat/protein) can't be good for me (read high cholesterol). With all that I've learned here I tried to explain to them that eating high cholesterol doesn't directly corrolate to someone having high cholesterol (as thats mostly genetic) well they wouldn't have it.
Then it occured to me I've never been tested.. so I called and made an apt for bloodwork next thursday with my doc to get it checked as I've been eating between 9-16 eggs per day since Jan of this year.
I can't wait to look at my numbers so I can throw it in the face of my coworker!

"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.

If you ain't keeping up with your cardio Johnny those numbers won't be as good as they can be
I don't get the driving need for people to convince others of things.JohnnyIrish said:
I have a number of co-workers now that try to lecture me about how i eat. So far i'm going to have a heart attack and my kidneys will shut down. It takes minutes of looking any of this stuff up but they will want to argue anything without the slightest bit of knowledge. Start spewing stuff out like "insulin sensitivity" while they stare at you stupidly, and you'll wonder why you talk to them at all if they know next to nothing. Then they will start a story abotu someone or other they know that had all kinds of problems with something or other, when that person really didn't do what they said they did or the story teller is just making it up in order to be right.
I don't talk to my mechanic about composing classical music, so i don't know why you would want to talk to average frumpy dude about healthful diet.

Ok... been feeding myself heavy amounts of whey protein, eggs, and I had a nice piece of steak for lunch.
I plan to lift some heavy weights tonight. Yay or nay?
Suggestions please?

Why wouldn't you lift weights tonight?
Or do you mean suggestions on a routine?

"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.

Christ, I'm so out of shape. Last summer, cut as a mothasucka... now, spare tires galore.
Did lift heavy weights, instead my normal weights (stuff I can do 3x10 reps with)
Did I mention that I'm freakn out of shape.. damn when you get old, it takes nothing to put you out of shape.
