"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.

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

"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.

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...
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
