"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.

Will chewing up pills have the same effect?

Im trying to take all purpose vitamins or whatever their called, however, I have a tendancy to have a hard time swallowing big pills, so im chewing them up, would they have the same effect? or would it be weaker?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Unless it's a chewable tablet I wouldn't reccomend it. Chewing it up makes it disolve faster and your body can't absorb it all that quickly so part of it just gets wasted. That's the big reason why some pills come in chewable/non chewable. Hope that helped.

Huh? Why do we chew food? To make it digest faster? If your body can't absorb it if it's chewd, where does it go?

Back in the day when I did a lot of drugs, we would chew them up and swallow. You would get high twice as fast.

Yea, but that's food...and drugs. Medicines/vitamins are made to be swallowed so they disolve slower. Like I said, that's the reason why some pills say "chewable" on the label, because most pills are supposed to be swollowed whole. Where do the rest go? Out into the toilet.
 

"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 used to have problems swallowing pills. My main problem was i put too much water in my mouth when trying to swallow. Try using a small bit of water when swalling a pill i know it sounds stupid but it works.

Unless the vitamins are in big enough quantities that the body would HAVE to be slow absorbing it to get the most of it, don't worry about it.

Pills that say 1000% of your DV (Some vitamin C pills go crazy like that), would need to be taken as directed because your body can only take so much, so it needs to be done slowly or it will just get filtered out of your system. But if it is just a regular multi where things say 100% or less, I wouldn't worry about it. Alot times people are deficient with those vitamins and you body will take it all in.

Now, if it is a cap, a gel pill, you need to swallow it whole. There is no way around it. If you break the cap and mix it with water you will not get all of the dose as some will stay in the glass even if it is well mixed.

If it is medicine, don't even screw with it. Take it as directed no question. That should go without saying though.

If the pill is homogeneous (consistent throughout) then you can chew it... Maybe it's gonna be even better for you.

If it has a coating on it, or if it's a capsule... then do not break it....


Or break it if you know what you're doing.

Most vitamin pills don't have any sort of coating, so my wild quess is that it would be good for you to chew them up.

Can you swallow food? without chewing?

If so, stick the pill in a small piece of jello. Or white bread. Or cheese. And swallow the small "chunk" of food. Works on dogs all the time, don't see why it wouldn't work on a human.

And if you can't swallow a small piece of rolled up bread, then try something else mentioned above.
