"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.

This is well known among professionals.
The next doctor that knows what Vitamin K2 is that anyone talks to will be the first.

Almost unequivocally doctors will talk about K1 and its function in clotting in the body. Therefore you can't even have a real discussion about the different types of K2, its function in the various calcium binding proteins in the body, its role in keeping arteries clear, and various other topics of discussion related to this because they don't even know wtf it is.

Doctors are slowly catching up to basic vitamins and their functions in the body and health but K2 remains well out of the scope of knowledge of 95% of doctors. Now if you want to talk to them about drugs and big Pharma they could talk for days
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Such as this review of 214 studies that concludes that water fluoridation decreases caries, causes a slight increase in dental fluorosis but no clear evidence of other potential adverse effects?


This review seems to disagree with your claim.
Practical real life use of sunscreen doesn't lower vitamin D levels much, it does however significantly reduce the risks of sunburn and skin cancer. Better to use sunscreen and if in doubt take vitamin D supplements.


Indeed, I'd rather listen to the real professionals than some random armchair doctor on a forum about picking up women.
Body builders and fitness buffs were ahead of a majority of the docs for many years. ( outside of sports docs )

I can't take anyone who mentions "big pharma" seriously. I know there's corruption among doctors and medical companies in the US, but I'm from a country with a different system without those weaknesses and doctors have no incentive to give bad advice. Yet the advice given is about the same.

Amusing how you left out talking about those studies...

You can find 5 studies to argue your point, I could find 5 to argue mine.

For example:
Here is an article talking about a new study that came out saying the opposite about sunscreen

Sigh...
  1. I didn't link to 5 studies, I linked to reviews of over 200 studies about one claim and over 70 about another claim.
  2. The article you linked to as an example states to avoid sunscreen use twice a week during midday sun, which is consistent with the findings of the studies I linked. Practical real life use of sunscreen.
  3. The article about the study you posted was performed by osteopaths, which have little legitimacy outside of their only proven treatment which is using suction cups to alleviate back pain.
  4. You posted 1 sketchy article formatted study by osteopaths to counter the meta-analysis of 3 field trials and 69 observational studies.
  5. Clicking the "findings" link in the article will yield a page containing one single instance of the word "sunscreen" used, no further mention other than the assumption that it's one of several factors that may explain lower vitamin D levels.
Do you even read?
 

"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.

Its not high you are just misinformed like most of the general public probably because people get sick with low Vitamin D levels and big Pharma takes advantage. Go reference studies that have been done showing that on average people need 7-8000 IUs to maintain good levels. I have taken 10000 IUs for decades with no issues.

There are no side effects unless you start taking crazy doses like 50000 IUs
At one point i was taking 40,000IU's a day but scaled down to 10,000IU's. i recently got a checkup at the doctor and she said my Vitamin D levels were through the roof and asked how much i was now taking. I told her 10K IU's and she freaked out lol.

Low vitamin d levels in one's body correlate with getting much sicker from covid. It is in milk and orange juice because we put it there. Fatty fish like tuna and salmon have it naturally. Your body needs both vitamin d in the diet and sunlight to activate the vitamin d.
