"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I don't eat any trans fat because I don't eat out anywhere,all food is made or prepared in mi casa. What is it about trans fats that makes them so bad? I see stuff on the news "BAN TRANS FAT" and so on. I just want to learn,knowledge is power. Anyone care to elaborate?
 

"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.

just fyi 0 grams of transfat doesn't mean none, it can also mean less than 1/2 gram per serving (in the US anyhow). it's being taken out of a lot of stuff, but the only way to be sure is to make sure the ingredients don't refer to partially hydrogenated oil.
 

"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.

Think of essential fatty acids as very long delicate chains of molecules. When these are heated up they become broken and disfigured like a foreign glue-like substance. This substance does not occur in nature and is very dangerous to ingest. Eating these fats is like putting poison in your system. Trans-fats or hydrogenated oils are probably responsible for 99% of all cancers.

Things that you don't want in your diet are: Margarine, fried foods, pastries, anything that says hydrogenated oil on it.

huh? that doesn't even begin to make sense.

most of the substances we ingest do not occur in nature. we invented this thing called cooking that changes most of them. not everything artificial that we do to food causes cancer.

trans fats are not linked to cancer (though I wouldn't rule it out), they're linked to heart disease. partial hydrogenation takes normal liquid oil fat and turns part of it into solid saturated fat, but leaves behind some other fats that have been changed into something that doesn't occur in nature. we've figured out that substance (trans fat) is linked to heart disease (and maybe other stuff, but no one has shown it yet).

Fully hydrogenated oils have become saturated fat, the kind you mostly find with animal flesh, and no one has shown that the artificial process used to get there has any ill effects.
