"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

This thread is like honey to these spambots.

Wow.
Word. I went through the thread negging each one of them until they reached " is at an unknown quantity". I feel if more people negged them into oblivion and into red the mods might actually move to ban them.

Ratings don't do anything. What DOES work is reporting the post as spam by clicking the little red warning triangle. That sends a message to the mod inbox.

zinc for example will prevent you from falling asleep so don't take it before bed
Not true, zinc has little to no affect on your sleep.

Hey I don't know much about bodybuilding, but it seems every 2 weeks some guys is talking about how some random supplement magically changed his life.

Does taking specific Vitamin C supplements really make a noticeable difference? I mean I eat lots of fruit and some veggies anyway, and take multivitamins from time to time.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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)
Vitamin D is the more important vitamin to take when sick, as it contains Cathelicidin, which the immune cells use to defend against foreign invaders. Basically the cells attach to the invadees membrane and inject granules inside that explode, destroying the invading cell. The more Cathelicidin available, the more granules are produced, and the quicker the body can fight off the sickness. Some people have said to take 50,000 IU of Vitamin D at the first sign of sickness, but I have only gone up to about 10,000 IU...
