"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.

When you steam foods, are you taking the nutrients out?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Water soluble vitamins are sometimes vaporized out, especially if u tend to overcook your food. However, steaming is one of the healthiest methods to prepare cooked food.

Sometimes, but not the essiental ones.

Steaming and the Forman grill is the healthiest way to go. Multimineral/vitamin should sort out any losses anyway, if you're taking them.

Steaming is just one step short of boiling, which is the worst (unless you drink the water in which it is boiled, preferably as a soup w/some soup-stock stired in - this btw is how many Asian dishes are made) for nutrient retention. But it's still better than boiling food. The best method is to grill things - even vegetables.

What if you are steaming chicken breasts? I do it because it takes less time to prepare...But the way I do it is put a little water in a saucepan and cover it and let the steam cook it...But if there is a little water left in, do the nutrients get into the water? I was mainly concerned about protien...
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

I cant see you steaming the **** out of a chicken breast to the point where it loses much protein. Even if you steamed it until the proverbial cow came home.

And yes, using the 'water' is a great idea. Always do it to make a gravy and such like. Hell, when you boil something, you can make gravy with the water that you boiled it with. Resourcfulness![and bad spelling!] It makes average gravy taste awesome.

Yea the protein wont leave unless you burn the meat, in which all that is left is charcoal, or carbon. Cooking protein denatures it, which messes up the confirmation, but actually increases absorptiveness.
