"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.

I notice that when I wake up in the morning I look my slimmest. At the end of the day I look bigger than I did hours ago. This happens everyday Im no where near how I look at the end of the day when I look at myself in the morning. Are there foods that are causing this and what can I do to prevent or treat this?

Im also starting to drink lots of water a day, this would help flush out the stored water in my body.

"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.

How much milk are you having? This is the most likely cause.

Although it could be a any number of several dozen food allergies.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Some people get the CreaBloat when they are on the creatine and fail to hydrate sufficiently. But this is probably not your case and more like what PenGato said.

Andy, it is probably being caused by an allergy to something. Most likely are dairy products because of lactose intolerance.

It could be any number of things however. After a meal see how you feel, if you feel particularly bloated there is a good chance something in that meal is causing the problem. If you think something is a problem, remove it and see how you feel. If the problem improves then it is likely you have a food allergy to that product.

You could also have poor digestion. There is a test over on IA's for this by Poliquin, you could try it if you like. It involves betaine hydrochloride.

Hmm, ive never really tracked how i feel after eating. Its usually after carbs, rice potatoes and stuff. But it seems like that after everything I eat.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You eat carbs in the day, hence water is stored in the body and your glycogen levels are full. This makes you look bloated. But if you were ripped, your muscles would just look big and full with a lean appearance.
