Do you think cereal should be in our daily diet?
Yes, No, why?
And what cereal do you recomend?

Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
What cereal do you eat?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Preferably something with a low glycemic index. That would include your whole grain cereals but of course their index is lower you drop the sweetners (both sugar and raisins). The best are fall into the categories of oatmeal, bran cereals, and muesli.

Assuming I don't need to go grocery shopping: plain rolled oats, some plain muesli (check the fat and sugar content first), cold soy milk, half an apple, half an orange, two glasses of water. Oh yeah and I chop the banana up with the cereal.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Cookie Crisp all the way, baby. Because the way I see it, what the hell is the point of being healthy and living longer if you have to give up the things you enjoy in order to do so?Rata Blanca said:

"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.

I skip the cereal. On the off chance that I eat breakfast (yes, I know, I really should, I need to work on that) I generally take about 6 egg whites, one whole egg, a couple pieces of toast with some peanut butter, a protein shake and then take a bottle of gatorade for my early morning drink. I sip the gatorade, so as not to have the "overkill" effect on my stomach, and to prevent it from slowing down my digestions.

I gave up on cereals about a year ago. I eat oatmeal 5 days a week, and turkey bacon and eggs on the weekend.

Captain Crunch, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Reese's Puffs are some of my favorites. The gf likes Froot Loops. But, make sure you don't get the name brand stuff, like Kelloggs, which usually runs you about $2 extra. I get the big bags that look like dog food.
If I'm not eating cereal, I eat pork bacon and butter drenched eggs. Then I fry up hash browns in the grease. I run 2 miles 3 times a week. Fukk healthy eating.

"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.

I know this is absolutely insane, but I know an old Norweigian dude who basically did the same thing. He eats bacon daily, but he's skinny as hell because he works in construction. Oh yeah, he's a drunk too.
I haven't seen him in a while thought. Maybe he cacked.

I'm glad some people got what I was saying. 
I suppose it was my slightly tounge in cheek way of saying that I'll do plenty of things that I enjoy even if it's unhealthy because I don't really care about living to be 90 if I'm not doing things I love all the way to that age. And yes, eating whatever cereal I want is part of that, even if it's just a small part.

Shredded Wheat.
Not the frosted ****, either. 100% whole grain shredded wheat.

I use to think shredded wheat was one of the best but since it's highly processed it ranks as a medium on the glycemic scale giving your insulin production a jolt. It's definitely better than any of the frosted cerials but it won't help you loose weight like others that don't boost your blood glucose level.
"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.
