"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.

It's not a great deal, however it's enough to prompt me to get rid of it.

I don't eat breakfast.. I wait till around 1.30pm & I will eat 3 boiled eggs as my first meal... From that point onwards I drink water or coffee.. around 7.30pm I will eat a larger meal.. Chicken breast & rice.. Cottage cheese & some salad.. alternatively.. Rump Steak, rice and Houmous.

I have one cheat night,. usually Friday night. Most of the time, my diet is pretty clean.
I've learned over the years that anyone who claims to eat chicken breast and rice as a regular staple is lying. That's the most boring diet I've ever heard of I'd literally kms. I won't judge you if you admitted to snacking or having more cheat meals than that.

Do you have problems with digestion? If you can rule out inflammation it sounds like it might be an epigenetic/metabolic problem. Honestly chicken is so damn overrated anyway man that stuff is pumped full of soy and hormones I wouldn't be surprised if it causes problems. Maybe try fish or grass fed beef instead.
 

"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.

Sorry man.. you caught me out.. I was lying..

What kinda loser lies about their staple diet.. Give a man a little credit.

I don't have time to list my entire damn weekly diet here on SS, but like most men who lift weights, chicken and rice is pretty much staple for us guys.

I'm not saying I eat chicken and rice 7 days a week, hell no... But yes chicken does make an appearance usually 4x a week.. I tend to eat fish alot too, and beef steak.

As for cheat meals.. I eat clean Monday to Friday & have a cheat meal Friday night..

Other than that diet is clean.

I have been training lifting weights for over twenty years, however I believe with age it becomes more difficult to keep the unwanted belly fat off.

Thanks for the tip though.

I mean I was kind of joking, but I suspect the chicken and rice staple is overrated. Why not try a radical elimination diet for a few months and see how you feel? When I did carnivore for 3 months I lost about 10 lbs of pure fat, especially subcutaneous belly/chest fat that I was previously unable to get rid of. Just something to think about.

If it were me, I would go with option two. I feel like getting rid of all belly fat is too tedious and cumbersome of a task to do. Aditionally, I think a some fat on the body is natural and I would much rather prefer that than just super shredded. I feel like it's very rare to enjoy life while staying with minial levels of fat.

Speaking of elimination diets this is a great book discussing it with great recipes:

Practical Paleo, 2nd Edition (Updated And Expanded): A Customized Approach to Health and a Whole-Foods Lifestyle https://a.co/d/1rFAqkT
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
