"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Whey proteins question

Hi,
I am a student at college and I've been weightlifting since ~2 months. I have a simple question about whey proteins.

If I drink a shake on an empty stomach, will my body use the energy from the proteins as a fuel or will it use them to repair my muscles?
Thanks
 

"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.

Take two scoops of protein with 4 raw eggs and your body will use the fat for fuel and protein for muscle growth.

I recommend you read the "vault" and get some more information on training and diet. You don't sound like you know that much and it would be beneficial.

No you don't.. if that was the case I would have been poisoned already as I've been eating 9/day for the past month in shakes.. the only side effect I've seen from them is a quality strength increase! :D
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

if you're weightlifting you should never have a truly empty stomach...

there's no way to say how your body will use the protein you give it, without knowing what you're consuming the rest of the day.

I try to eat a good diet, but it's pretty hard when I stay up to 12 hours out of my home. I have slow gains because of this but I enjoy training anyway. Thanks for advices!
