"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.

Ok all you hard gainers out there try this mother of all weight gain drinks I often use. Works a treat.

1 pint milk
2 whole eggs
Whey powder
Weight gain powder
1 cup oats
2 scoops ice cream
Banana
Fresh Strawberries
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 teaspoon of honey
1 teaspoon glutamine
Sprinkling of cinnamon

It aint pretty and it aint particularly scientific but it tastes pretty good and will certainly help put weight on. Makes a good breakfast if I can't be bothered cooking.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Boil eggs for 1 minute if it worries you but ive never had a problem. Don't make the mistake of removing the yolks either.

That looks like a hell of a protein shake. Any idea how many calories are in the ingredients combined that don't change(banana, peanut butter, etc) Excluding the stuff that changes like the type of protein powder and weight gainer?

Probably about a good1000 total, ive never really tried working it out!

Peanut butter 600kcal per 100g so about 100-150 per shake.
Banana - not sure - 80-100??


Milk about 150ish but thats fat free milk, could use whole milk for more.

Strawberries? No idea

Oats - perhaps 100 tops

Very little gastric trouble

I don't know if that would all fit in my blender.

That's a good idea about putting raw eggs in a shake. I was afraid of salmonella, but now i guess It's ok.
 

"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.

Where do you get those?
No prob to leave the powders out - there is plenty of calories, protein, carbs and good fats in there without - As an aside its not ideal nutritional practice to mix fat and carbs at the same meal - but when youre aim is merely to bulk up and are not too concerned about body comp or lean body mass it doesnt really matter.

If you can get some weight gainer then so much the better. Im in the UK so as far as weight gain powders go (as opposed to whey powders) I buy good domestic brands. Chemical Nutrition Pro Mass is a good one and sells in the USA. Pro-lab N-Large2. Or buy separate whey and carb powders. Do a search, this stuff is easy enough to get hold of. Maybe you guys in the US could give him some good links for cheap supplements??

At your age i am assuming you just want to bulk up so you dont have to get too fancy with supplementation anyway. Just the very basics.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
