"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.
 

"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.

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.
