"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.

All of the stores I go to sell microwavable, fat people crap. I need to know where to go to find healthy food.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Farmers markets have some pretty good organic stuff I've seen and heard some good things of going to the butchers to get your meat as well.

Then again if you want to be serious you cant really get anything "Healthy," Just because of how much pesticides and changes to the molecules in the seeds before you even buy it that taint them. Best way to do it...grow and raise your own food haha.

Blah blah blah....Just go to the store buy any fresh meats/poultry on sale. The only organic stuff I'd buy is things like soft fruit/grapes/ apples cause usually those are heavily hit with pesticides.

Yet if you eat clean 90% of the time no junk food and crap, work out regularly you'll be absolutely fine.

A lot of the extra **** people worry about doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, you'll probably be dead before eating hormone injected grain fed beef or mass produced super steroid chicken, a lot of plastic xenoestrogens really effect you that BAD...so just eat real animals, don't heat up lots of plastics when eating foods (use glass/ceramic), eat some fresh fruit/vegetables with every protein serving, nuts/good fats and you'll be fine!!! A neighborhood chain store carries everything you need...Krogers/Meijers

Don't get too hung up on the "organic" label. I find that there is a big difference in organic milk, and also ketchup. Everything else is not distinguishable to me.

I come from a farming family and we actually have a spot at our local farmer's market. fwiw, there are some very deadly pesticides that are still "organic." My grandpa has been spraying crops for 60 years, and he does not want to touch some of those organic pesticides. We use Sevin, the brand name for carbaryl. It's been around 50 years. When I was a kid, we put it directly on dogs and cats to kill ticks. Still when I use it today on plants, I just grab a handful with my bare hand and sprinkle. Although harmless to people, Sevin is very much not organic.

Also, even if you are an organic farmer, with the new laws, to sell a product as organic you have to pay I think $500 and have your farm inspected by the state. That is more trouble than it is worth to a lot of small farmer's market vendors.

Don't shop when you are hungry or in a hurry. In either case you will be more likely to grab junk, processed foods or sugary treats. Fresh fruits and vegetables are best, but if you can't eat them in a day or two, frozen fruits and vegetables are a better choice.
 

"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.

The perimeter of ANY grocery store is where most of the good stuff is sold...meats, dairy, veggies, etc.

The only aisles I visit are for brown rice, tuna, and oatmeal. Just about everything else I want is located along the perimeter of the store.
you know now that i think about it, your absolutely right. i hardly find myself going through the isles. there is so much processed junk.

Most grocery stores sell some good stuff if you shop around the outside (fruits, meats, vegtables, etc).

I go to local co-ops, and if their around, trader joe's and whole foods.

trader joe's is a great place to pick up flash frozen fish (better than anything but fresh fish caught the same morning).

i mostly agree with espi but i'd add dried beans and frozen veggies to the list of things not generally found on the perimeter.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
