i only drink one protein shake a day and i was wonderin what the best time of day to drink it?
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.
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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Cutting or bulking you still need regular protein. Certainly you need more total grams of protein when bulking but you mainly need more calories and you won't increase calories significantly with some whey in water or skimmed milk.Originally posted by CaptianMorgan
maybe i take one a day because im NOT trying to bulk. im tryin to cut up.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Ok, 2 eggs is like 6g, so you get more in a glass of milk. No problem with eggs, but if you are eating them for the sole purpose of protein, 6 egg whites or more is what you need. Chicken your looking at about 35-42g of protein.Originally posted by CaptianMorgan
well in the morning i will eat 2 boiled eggs, and ill eat a steak about every other day, and ill eat chicken on the days in between.
idk my lunch schedule is usually fuked up cuz i sometimes go to work in the afternoon. i usually wake up at 11, eat breakfast, and then at 3:30 ill have a big dinner, and a piece of chicken or spaghetti at midnight when i get home. ill fit my protein shake somewhere in there. i really cant think of any other protein i intake each day.
First of all that's a lot of pork chop. Hope you dont eat that much very often because if that's your main source of protein you are gonna get fat.Originally posted by Kwah
How the christ can you guys keep track of your protien intake? I have no friggin clue whats in half the stuff I eat.
Like I ate 4 pork chops last night, they were average size, but I have no freaking clue what that works out too.
How the hell can you work all this stuff out without waisting an hour of your day just calculating what you ate?
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.
I dont eat for pleasure, I eat to stay fit. I basically have a set diet and I eat the same things day in and day out. I only have to calculate my portions once and then I am done until I decide to up my daily intake of calories. It's surprisingly easy to know how many calories a day you are eating and how many grams of protein, carbs and fat as well. I think the hardest part is just preparing 6 meals a day.Originally posted by Kwah

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.
