"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ive been taking zinc now for about a month or 2 and I gotta say thats the best thing ever for having energy and keeping the sex drive up. They say you only need 15 mg but I take 45-60 a day and I'm always full of energy and have a high sex drive. :woo: Gotta love it!
 

"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.

Interesting.

I take Zinc because it's good for the skin and helps keep a good complexion. I had no idea about the sex drive thing though.

I'll start taking more of it, thanks for the heads-up.

Fyi, too much zinc is harmful...Or so it says on the label.

There was a study done in Turkey on zinc and its effect on testosterone levels. After about a month, the guys who lifted and supplemented had 'significantly higher' test levels than the ones who didn't. Source: [Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2006 Apr 29;27(1-2)

I got my zinc yesterday :).

PS: I'm going to be taking 100mg/day - 2 tablets.

Some food for thought.

Precautions While Using This MedicineReturn to top

When zinc combines with certain foods it may not be absorbed into your body and it will do you no good. If you are taking zinc, the following foods should be avoided or taken 2 hours after you take zinc:

* Bran
* Fiber-containing foods
* Phosphorus-containing foods such as milk or poultry
* Whole-grain breads and cereals

Do not take zinc supplements and copper, iron, or phosphorus supplements at the same time. It is best to space doses of these products 2 hours apart, to get the full benefit from each dietary supplement.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

So I shouldn't take it right after my oatmeal?
I'd take it before bed. I think zinc is beneficial to REM sleep and you wouldn't be eating any of those bread type products before bed anyway.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

150 mg spaced throughout the day. I took a 100 in the morning, then read that absorption is inhibited after eating oatmeal and such, so took another 50 later in the day. Then I started feeling tired, dizzy, and had some serious chest pains. Like my heart was hurting or smth. 2 days ago, I went to a metal concert and got a nasty cut on my side, so I thought I might have picked up some funk from someone, but I'm fine today.

How the hell am I supposed to take 15 mg if the tablets each have 50?

Take 1 tablet. 50 is fine, it's not as toxic as other nutrients. If you want only 15, usually multivitamins have that much.
