Group theory: You do not walk up to a girl who's all by herself. That is not the perfect seduction. Women of beauty are rarely found alone. After approaching the group, the key is to ignore the woman you desire while winning over her friends-especially the men and anyone else likely to cockblock.

You should get at least a half a percent of your calories from the short-chain omega-3 ALA. That's easy--one tablespoon of ground flaxseeds takes care of that. Your body can then take the short-chain omega-3 from flaxseeds (or chia seeds or walnuts) and elongate it into the long-chain omega-3s EPA and DHA found in fish fat. The question, however, is whether the body can make enough for optimal brain health. Until we know more, I recommend taking 250 mg of pollutant-free (yeast- or algae-derived) long-chain omega-3s directly. [2015] - Michael Greger
