"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.

Ive been trying to gain weight for a while now, i know my diet is most likely what holding me back. ive been reading through different weight gain programs, and in them are samples of meals that should be eaten. of the six meals most of them show, half of the meals are from powders and supplements ive never heard of. the actual program in them are simple to understand: lift heavy, low reps, 3 days a week, dont overtrain, lots of rest. great, but can i do this by eating whole foods? has anyone gained a significant amount of weight without 10 different suplements, and powders. protein is needed i understand, i just need some help planning these meals
 

"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.

Supplements are designed to supplement your diet. So yeah, eat as much wholefood as you can, and then supplement with protein powder on top of that to reach your daily protein and calorie intake.

Not sure why you'd need 10 supplements as a beginner, I use whey, vitamins and fish oil.

4-5 months ago I was about 90lbs at 5'5". Then I started drinking Ensure Plus, which costs about $33 for a pack of 24 bottles at Costco. Costco is really cheap compare to other places. Ensure Plus has about 350 calories and 12g proteins. Now I am about 130lbs. My body frame is still thin looking, but I look a lot better than before. Now I am working out in the gym.

All you have to do is eat atleast three times a day and drink Ensure Plus after your meals. You'll continue to be able to eat more and more as you drink and eat.

You don't need to buy supplements but buying a jug of Whey Protein and finding a good weight gain shake recipe might even save you money on food and it will be very beneficial to growth.

Whey protein. Even with minimal doses i noticed weight (muscle) gain on the 3rd/4th day. After years of being skinny.
 

"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.

You need Whey protein for the post-workout meal. it hits the muscles quickly and prevents your muscles from atrophying.
I think you'll manage just fine downing any source of protein after. Whey isn't necessary.

I think people are too anal about a lot of this stuff.
