"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 vs Solid food

I am finding that, for example if I eat 50 gms of solid protein, e.g. tuna, chicken etc consistently.. versus if I switch that to 50 gms of whey protein some days, the solid protein that I have seems to be much more beneficial in building my muscle.

I get the feeling that I am not using the whey effectively and I am not really absorbing as much protein when I am drinking whey versus when I am eating actual food.

Are others seeing the same thing?
 

"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.

Nothing to do with ineffective whey absorption mate, just simply that solid food has better anabolic qualities than whey drinks.

The effort required by your body to break down and process solid food is much greater than the effort required to process whey, since it's by design a fast- and easily-digestable protein source.

To quote DC, eating solid protein in large amounts turns you into a 'human blast furnace' which is as anabolic as all hell.

Keep whey PWO or where you're really pressed for time, eat solidly the rest of the time.

What's the effect of eating solid food along with a whey drink? Will the whey mixed with the other food slow things down?

Drinking along with eating slows down digestion in general.

If you drink the shake before it'll get digested quickly as it's the first thing in your belly, if you sip it with the meal then it'll get slowed down.

But if you're eating solid food, absorption shouldn't be an issue. If you want fast-absorbing stuff, you've got whey and liquid carbs.
 

"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.

I have to agree with Warboss here.

Whey is great pre and post workout, but other than that, I prefer to eat plenty of "real" food.
I cant get enough of tuna, chicken, turkey and lean beef.
