"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Wat happens if your taking pure creatine with protein whey and you dont consume enough water, is that bad? or will that just decrease your potential? 128ounces of water a day is alot, heh.
 

"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.

Man, these guys are a bunch of unhelpful jerks! :mad:

The truth is, if you consume creatine without enough water, it'll alter the hormonal balance (testosterone:estrogen ratio) of your body and lead to potentially feminizing side effects such as testicular atrophy, gynecomastia, ovulation, etc...

There was recently a study published on this in the New England Journal of Medicine. You can find it on Medline.

Personally, I wouldn't mess with the stuff if I wasn't aware of the risks and knew exactly what I was doing... :D
 

"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.

Ok...I went trough taking creatine without enough water, well it was actually taking nitro-tech (i hate muscletech, but i got this free) anyhow...it has 3 grams of creatine per serving in there, so i took it...the only thing it does to you is give you the ****s, none of that hormonal crap up there, i mean it might do the hormonal blah blah but not anything to freak out over.

But he's got a great vocabulary. He had me going until he mentioned ovulation. That I would like to see.

Jeez, some people have no sense of humor! :D

At least darkhorse picked up on the ovulation, that was a giveaway! :p
 

"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.

LOL Good one JJ u had me for a minute or two im not afraid to admit. Cleverly done my son!

Thing is, the poor fella still aint got an answer to his question!

Drinking a large amount of water - 2 litres or more per day - should be taken as read anyway so its kind of a moot point.

But seriously...

In my experience, when I take in extra protein and creatine, I naturally become more thirsty and end up drinking more during the day. I wouldn't obsess over this.

Also... if you're just adding the creatine to a whey protein shake, you're not going to get the full effect because you need insulin to help shuttle the creatine into your muscle cells. That's why it's recommended to take creatine with fruit juice.

What I usually do is mix my creatine with water and iced tea powder, and then add some extra dextrose (a high glycemic sugar, it's what's in nitro-tech) on top of that. You can get dextrose from www.supplementdirect.com for $11 for 10lbs.

I take a thick protein shake in the morning after breakfast, and one after i come home from school. Then workout about an hour later and take a full spoon of creatine and mix it with apple juice. And one more protein shake to top off the day at night, about 2-3 hours prior to going to bed. Is this good?

You do eat during the day too right?
 

"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.

Flame retardant: This could be total BS, but here's how I do it. YMMV:

When on creatine, I know if I'm not drinking enough water if my throat feels dry. When you're body dehydrates, one of the first places it draws water from is your throat. This is why singers must keep hydrated. So if your throat is dry when you're on creatine, then you're not drinking enough.

Similarly, protein requires water to digest, which also needs to be replenished. I take my tuna as my last meal of the day, and so sometimes I wake up with a dry throat if I don't take enough water with it.

Keep a gallon jug of water with you 24/7 and just nurse it all day.

Heh ok, when I go to school tommarow I will carry a gallon jug to all my classes. I'm sure that won't look weird...

And on Sunday I will take it to church. People will be very confused.

When I have a doctor's appointment I will take it in with me and drink it while I am having a check-up.

Heh, it is fun to think of all the situations that would make you look really weird carrying a gallon jug.

Ah yes, high school. I had forgotten about being image conscious and giving a sh!t what other people think.

The more "socially correct" version for you high schoolers is...(drum roll)...a small bottle.

I know this is ground breaking stuff, but not everyone can be a master of the obvious. :D

Creatine and water.

Your liver cn dehydrate.

Creatine cleans it but also removes water from it.. drink your water..

You can also get muscle cramps..
