"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 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.

"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.

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

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

everyone is skinner in the morning and more bloated at night.
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
