Fortress Maximus
Don Juan
Did a search and gained some good knowledge, but has anybody tried vitamin C in high dose? Such as 3,000mg daily?
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
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.
The RDA is outdated. Some numbers they give are too high, others too low.Fortress Maximus said:The tolerable upper limit according to the USA is 2,000mg for an adult male. With the amount of protein I’ll be taking I think 3,000mg daily will be OK.
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.
Umm you can't say free radicals are good or bad. Yes too many can damage DNA and cause cancer.... but some are necessary for cell signaling in your body.Alle_Gory said:Free radicals offer no benefit. Free radicals damage DNA and cell walls.
That isn't a benefit at all.
You're thinking about the free radicals that occur naturally as a result of your natural metabolism. Those don't last long in the body as they get converted into something else.ArcBound said:Umm you can't say free radicals are good or bad.

Free radicals killed my father and raped my motherFortress Maximus said:Free radicals increase is related to job stress too right?
I was told to take Glutamine powder with it.. counter that upset stomach.Colossus said:I have take as much as 5 grams a day.
It is generally considered safe to take several grams a day, although it can cause GI upset. It's not really necessary unless you are sick or in a catabolic state--Vit C can mitigate cortisol levels and is also ESSENTIAL for collagen production.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I feel the same way Quicksilver.Quiksilver said:Don't think too much about this stuff guys, just pop your supps and get on with your day.

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.
