"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.

"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.

Avoid anything with excessive trans fats like certain frozen foods, spreads like margarine, certain chips and crackers, etc.

Absolutely. Avoid any products containing processed "trans fat" hydrogenated fats/ oils. Number 1 culprits are margarine and cooking foods using cheap vegetable oils. Avoid packaged/ sealed/ tinned convenience (microwave etc) foods aswell.

If you wish to take good nutrition a step further, when shopping for food, make sure the product revolves around the themes of "natural" and "unrefined/ unprocessed". Avoid foods containing (high) amounts of: Colourings, artificial sweeteners/ flavourings, preservatives, E numbers, etc.

Here's what i always get at the store:

Those packs of frozen vegatables, like the Lo Mein, or Chow mein combination. ZERO FAT!!! (ok, one of them has about 1.5 grams fat...)
Then, you take chicken breast (go ahead and get the cheaper, frozen kind, it doesn't take as good, but you are going to cut it up anyways) and put a breast's worth of chicken in the stir fry. Literally takes 7 minutes to make, and its a good amount of protein, and no fat.

My house smells like a chinese restaurant, cause i stir fry so much.

Cottage cheese (lowfat) is great. Want to make it REALLY taste good? Buy some yogurt and put some of that in it. Yogurt is low fat and high protein too.

Protein bars are pretty essential, cause they taste good and easy to pack to work.

I've gotten some cans of turkey chili, and thats only about 3.5 grams fat, but lots o' protein.

Oh yeah, and tuna fish. Goddamn, 32 grams of protein per container for about 45 cents. (dont add lots of fattening mayonnaise though...)

So, those are the things i usually buy. It's a boring diet, but oh well.
