"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.

Did a search and gained some good knowledge, but has anybody tried vitamin C in high dose? Such as 3,000mg daily?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yes especially when sick and I tell you what it helps tons. There's some concrete studies that you can look up on mega dosing vit c and the benefits. Get some from fresh oranges and supplement the rest with tablets (high grade are the best, forgot which form is best when it comes to vit c I'll look it up when I have more time)

I read some of info out there on Vitamin C. Carlito, I see lots of info on the high dosing too. Some folks recommended 6,000mg or more a day! They claim it leads to a happier life in some. Like anything else it has doubters, but overall seems worth it IMO.

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.

Anybody ever try a high dose of it? What’s some of the amounts people here take daily?

The book, “How to live longer and Feel better”, written by a Nobel-Prize-winning chemist, recommended more than 10,000mg daily. Some advocates now believe it’s the cause of a downward trend in US heart disease from the early 1980s on.

Megadosing vitamin C is fine, it might cost a little bit more but for 99% of people it is fine to take over 3g of vitamin C.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

The RDA is outdated. Some numbers they give are too high, others too low.

Megadosing vitamin C is not harmful. It's water soluble. If you have too much in your body at one time, you piss it out. Be careful to choose a good brand for supplements. If it's made in China it might have lead and that **** accumulates in the body.

I wish I was joking.

ALA (ala lipolic acid) is useful for chelation therapy. It slowly removes heavy metals from the body (like lead, cadmium)... if you're worried about that sort of thing.

Free radicals offer no benefit. Free radicals damage DNA and cell walls.

That isn't a benefit at all.

Free radicals increase is related to job stress too right?

Vitamin C is water soluble. Meaning if you're worrying about getting to much to hurt yourself, the worst that will happen is that you'll not use the excess and pee it out.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.

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.

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.
Extra free radicals from radiation, weird chemicals and preservatives... etc. Are not natural and your body will not and cannot use them. They are waste and cause damage.

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.

I was told to take Glutamine powder with it.. counter that upset stomach.

And I'm shocked I don't know more ladies taking Vitamin C for the collagen production.

I feel the same way Quicksilver.

After taking in a lot of reading on Vitamin C, plus the input from the post, I feel comfortable taking 3,000mg a day.

Unless they're tainted with heavy metals.

Well some stuff you take and you don't know what effects might be

zinc for example will prevent you from falling asleep so don't take it before bed
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
