"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.

When I mix my protein shakes, a good portion of it doesn't mix and it clumps together. It just sticks to the cup and ends going down the drain when I wash the cup. It doesn't matter how much I stir and shake or blend, it won't dissolve completely. Does this happen with anybody's shakes?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Whey protein usually dissolves if you let it be for an hour or so. I've never experienced clumpings with my whey unless I take huge amounts and try to mix at once.

Solution might be to wait before you drink it, mix with small amounts at a time or use a shaker.

My girlfriend got me a blenderbottle as a random present. It's very, very good at what it's supposed to do (mix stuff).

Also, you can reduce clumping by adding more liquid.
 

"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.

Heat is a problem. Use colder water and slowly add in the water, like you're making dough for cake. If you just dump all the flour and water together it forms big clumps which are a pain to remove.

Shaker bottles also work for mixing whey, personally I dislike them since they make the mixture all frothy. If you have access to a blender that would be very useful. Also good for mixing in and pulverizing other ingredients like fruit and such.

I used to have this problem when I put the whey into my bottle before the water. This issue resolved itself almost completely when I filled the cup with water first, and then added the powder.

Also, this happened a lot more when I was buying some crappier quality whey. Now that I am getting some higher-end stuff and spending a bit more on it, my shakes are much smoother.

theblackcat's link is a great product, also.
