"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.

Okay, so I'm on a bit of a budget since I'm a student, but I still want to eat healthy. What are some groceries to buy that are cheap and healthy at the same time? (Besides the obvious like bread, tuna, fruit, etc)
 

"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.

pimpin has some good ideas, chicken breasts are very versatile and can be added to many meals. I'd also add peanut butter.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

moved to health and fitness.

As for groceries that are cheap and healthy:

1. large eggs
2. frozen vegetable packs
3. lean ground beef
4. oatmeal
5. apples(pretty steady cheap price)
6. green peppers...brocolli...
7. brown rice

It depends on where you live as well, and what store you go to. Those are all foods I buy regularly, and right there is pretty much all you need to eat to be healthy.

I didn't understand why it took so long for someone to mention beef.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Protein Shakes. I use the EAS brand from costco. 30 bucks for 5lbs. Mix with milk and frozen fruit. Great stuff, its a good breakfast replacement. Get one of those smoothie individual blenders that blend in the cup itself.

Peanut butter and jelly with bread was always in my dorm.

Get a george foreman. I couldn't technically cook in my dorm either but used that. You can make panini sandwhiches, burgers, sausages, and other stuff. Low mess, easy clean up (just wash it in the bathroom down the hall or something). Voila.

Where do you use the grill? Wouldn't it be really really bad if I used it in the dorm and not outside?

No. Not at all. Its just an indoor grill.

There's little to no smoke and doesn;t make a mess at all.

'grill' is a serious misnomer in this instance. it's basically an electric skillet with ridges on both surfaces.

I'll second this. You can cook anything on the george grill. I lived in the dorms years ago. I wish they had these back then.

Keep some chicken breasts in your frig/freezer in the dorm, with some good sandwich rolls. Cook the breasts on the forman grill. Excellent, and cheap.
 

"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.

Lazikia,

Do you have a crockpot? Do you like to cook or are you an eat-on-the-run life? Do you have storage room to buy/cook in bulk (for example - I buy large whole Turkey breasts - turkey is often cheaper than chicken - and also when they are on sale, cook the whole thing, slice it up - and also save the tiny shredded/picked parts for soups and stews - and I freeze them portionately with various recipes in mind for later. So I am wondering what your storage area is like?)
