"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.

Wasting Whey?

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?
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
