"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.
wat happens if you dont consume enough water with creatine?

"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.

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...
"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.

"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.
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.
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.

"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.
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.
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.

Your liver cn dehydrate.
Creatine cleans it but also removes water from it.. drink your water..
You can also get muscle cramps..

"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.
