"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.

Whey in oatmeal?

Would whey protein lose any effectiveness if mixed with oatmeal rather than in some kind of drink or shake (since liquids are probably easier to assimilate)?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

No not at all. Actually it's a good idea to help keep the protein in your system longer since oatmeal is slow burning. There should be some articles on that at bodybuilding.com.

Thanks :up:
 

"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.

Whats your guys opinions on chocolate or vanilla in oatmeal? I use chocolate for shakes but I might consider buying a vanilla pack for oatmeal. How does it taste?

I hate plain oatmeal with a passion. I only hate flavored oatmeal. I'm so bad that I have to buy maple/brown sugar or apple/cinnamon oatmeal to eat. Not nearly as healthy but much easier to swallow...

Chocolate whey in oatmeal is the best thing ever :D Put some brown sugar in there and it's my favorite breakfast.
 

"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.

Lol I love flavored oatmeal, but I only kinda like plain oatmeal. It just doesn't have the same flavor. Chocolate whey in oatmeal is Okay... but it could be better.

I love oats and whey in a shake together blended up.

If anyone is looking for a healthy weight gainer do this



1cup oats
2 scoops whey
2 cups of milk

and have that shake 3 times a day


I would also reccomend you get a membership at sam's club or costco if you can and buy oats in bulk, you can get a huge 9lb bag of oats for about 7-8bucks.
