Fruit and yogurt when you are at a hotel buffet. All the rest is way too processed.

Who else makes it a habit to walk places as much as they can? I think it makes a big difference in the long run.

Does anyone else notice that when they switch from hot to cold beverages their digestion improves. Whenever I drink hot coffee in the morning it seems like over time it might mess up my digestion. But when I drink those little cold Espresso & Cream cans from Starbucks I don't seem to have that problem. Which surprised me because I thought they wouldn't be all that healthy. Or maybe it is because the lesser quantity of liquid I an consuming.

Go to the bookstore and find one or two of the titles there and buy it with the little money you have. It's not like you can read them all at once anyways.

What I mean by having a messed up digestion is taking a shit that is not solid for clarity. I typically don't have those problems. But I have a job where I am home for long stretches of time. And then I am gone for long stretches of time. When I am not home my diet suffers and then sometimes my digestion gets messed up. Last time I think it was either the hit coffee, the creamer, or something I ate at the hotel breakfast.

As I read in the other thread that you are always tired. Maybe standing and moving like that all day is too much of a good thing for you. You should allow yourself some rest as well. Although I don't know your exact situation. You don't want your body to regress in a lower level of laziness either ofcourse.

Yeah walking can be consuming a lot of time. But I figure if I don't walk I may still do the same thing as when I am walking. Contemplating and grinding my mind. I was thinking about the physiology as well as I don't want to do too much cardio since I want to build muscle. But then again I am a mesomorph with some endomorph tendencies. Or a mesomorph who eats too much haha. So I think the cardio can be good for me.

Yeah I was taking a shortcut there in my explanation. When you start picking up girls you will develop your social skills and your sex skills. And that can have a positive effect in other areas of your life. But a great way to get better, even better then pick-up, is actually having a girlfriend. Because you will just have more exposure to how interaction between a man and a woman works over a prolonged period of time. And people in relationships typically have more sex then people that are single. When you do something more you do get better at it. Also once you know how to get girls you know how to get get girls. It's like riding a bike. Once you know how to ride a bike you know. You can put the bike away for a year you will still know. So there comes a point, once you know, you can just stop obsessing over it. Once you know how to pick up girls, and then you keep doing it and doing it. It starts to look like an addiction. Then you are just doing it for the kick of it but there is not a big learning effect anymore. The curve will still be going up but flatten out a lot. So if you are a nerdy dorky guy who has no idea to get a girlfriend, even to save his life....then yeah learning pick-up is pretty much mandatory. I think for all guys a period of two years where you focus on getting girls or land a girlfriend is pretty much mandatory, so you prove to yourself, by factual evidence, that you got it. But once you know how to ride the bike don't keep riding circles around the church tower like a retard. I mean we may all do that for a while but at some point you got to wake up and expand your horizon.

@Shane597 if you choose to spend money on dating websites go for a subscription on Match.com. From my experience the quality of women on there is a little higher then POF or Tinder. Also because they paid for a subscription as well they are more serious about dating. So it weeds out the people that are on there just for entertainment. Also on Matc.com you will have all the possibility to make contact available to you. You don't just depend on swiping. When you like someone you can send them a well thought out message and take the initiative like that and make a good first impression. *Also you think of these apps as "Hook-up" apps. But the women that use them usually don't. So if you approch them with that mindset you will be less successful. They may hook-up but that's not their rational intent.

You say yourself that you have a lot of "ability". But are you doing anything to honor that ability? Are you cultivating your ability? If you really have all that ability then try to be a model, or a bodybuilder, or ace some athletic activity. The progress of putting in the work and what needs to be done day in day out will build integrity within you. Then you can be proud of yourself because you are proving to yourself that you do what you say you are about.

I think it's best not to think in absolutes. Set goals the majority of the time. But also allow for times to just let things be and unwind.

Why?

Ok so that's close to a gallon for me. That's what I do now. For 230 lbs.

I will try. How much of that you drink?

My brothers cat attacks people for bananas and bell peppers. Is alkaline water good for humans as well?

So it's actually good to feed vegetables to a dog or cat?

@Shane597 I think you are doing fine. It doesn't seem like you are really that terrible at getting girls. Just keep at it and look up dating advice online. Rather put more focus on developing some other passion or skill in tour life though. It will pay off more and give you bigger rewards in the long haul. It's to easy to get addicted to women and sex. And I think you are well on your way.

@sheenp24 I have seen it in France where they put simply a whole choclate bar on bread. But in Holland where I grew up they got choclate products for on the bread as well.

@Antonio sounds to me what is really going on is that you are addicted to sex and women. Sex and women are a drug. And you had some and now you want more and better drugs. But the real question is not where to find better women. The real question is how to kick the addiction. I got the same problem. It's very easy to get addicted to especially ones you get better at it, since it can give you that temporary fix so well. But it is really not that different then playing Xbox or watching TV. As far as the instant happiness vs reward dilemma it's right above Xbox and TV but not much higher. You can do things with your life that are more rewarding, and give you more leverage and momentum in life. Let's say you build a good body in the gym. On a job interview people may say "this guy looks representable we want him to work for our company". But you can't tell them how many girls you have been banging. And the funny thing is when you get your life handled you will attract higher quality women. Because you have not been focusing on women and sex. One of those counter intuitive things.

Also banana and dark chocolate. The 85% or 90% kind. It's fast and gets me going the right way in the morning.

@Shane597 how much older are you talking about? A girl who is 2 - 5 years older then you is still only 22 - 25 years old. I think most girls that age don't want a younger guy. Pretty much everybody at a younger age wants to get older and go up and up and up. So girls that age range still generally want and older guy. But once people go past 30 they want to hold on to their youth. So then they are more likely to date someone younger because that makes them feel less old. On average the women I dated are about 2 years older then me. But now I am 33 I am not that interested in 35 year olds. I rather have a girlfriend in the 25 - 31 range. When you are younger you look at older people baggage and you label that as experience and you might find that sexy. But when you are older all that baggage that the typical 30+ year old has collected, it's just baggage. I rather be with someone fresh. So long story short, when I was younger I liked older women as well, but now I get older I am starting to like older girls. Now on the point how do you attract them? At your age probably by having a kick-ass personality. With a really good sense of humor. But as you get older around the 30 year old mark women are more open to dating guys that are a few years younger. They may even be freaks and go for a 20 year old. That's probably your best bet. Hit up some women in the 28 - 33 year old range who want to use you for sex. Lol You can tease them a little bit. When you text them you can call them "Cougarina". Derived from the term cougar. They often find the term "Cougarina" very funny. It has worked for me. Also read up on the terminology Puma and Jaguar.

I have been supplementing with Zinc, Magnesium, and Vitamin D the past 3 days. I think it may have been improving my sleep as Magnesium should do that. But I will keep you posted over a longer time period.

@Antonio how are you different from those girls in the club? You are in that club yourself. What you can do is work on yourself. Build yourself up. And then see what you attract.

@ElenaO yeah well I guess not.

@ElenaO probably do you eat red meat?
