"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.

I eat wholemeal pasta, wholewheat bread and most dairy (low-fat mostly) and lose bodyfat perfectly well.

If you're talking about white bread then yes, you've got a point.

But there's no need to drop anything at all, we're not training to get down to 6% bodyfat here.

It's all about timing, insulin, etc.
 

"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.

Adding those qualifiers makes it a different issue.

BTW, what's your age?

Dude, at that age, you should have the metabolism of a hummingbird.

You should be able to eat whatever whenever you want without worry.

It's when you get into your 30's that you have to really worry about things like bread and pasta and such, as your metabolism begins to slow and the weight is easy to put on and hard to take off.

LOL!

You believed me man?

I do know what you mean about the metabolism with age stuff, I really wished I'd lifted properly when I was 18-19 to take advantage of the sky-high test levels and metabolic rate.

But I still don't think anything has to be excluded if you're looking to slim down, as long as it's good natural, wholesome food there's nothing wrong with it.

Obviously drinking whole milk and the like isn't going to help your cause either, but it's not one diet component which determines success, it's the overall picture.
