"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 was thinking about buying one of those ab rollers. Do they really work and give you tight abs and muscular abs or is it a gimmick ?

Just got my exercise bike in today and need to out it together. Experimented with my home gym a bit tonight so I'm ready to use that too. Man I'm weaker than I thought lol. Getting ready for my treadmill workout.

Should I buy the ab roller or waste of 20 bucks?
 

"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.

Land of slow.
I used an ab roller during a bulk. Serves in tennis were coming in hard. Beat a whole age division under me. Entire tennis complex watching me ace a guy. Where on the clay ball bounced went out of the complex. So in short ab roller under most basic 35-70$ works as long as you put it under a moderate routine. No rebound and your mechanics are solid. Legs together with slight back arch inward... So yea go for it best $30 I ever spent

I'm pretty sure you can pick one up at Walmart for $5.

If you do it properly, it's one of the best ab workouts you can get.

I think you can get an inverted situp bench for under $40(i think I paid $20 for mine @ D!cks, 15-20 years ago).

Get gravity boots or a teeter table, if you want to get fancy.

Just get on the floor and do crunched, if you wanna save $5, but starting a threat to discuss whether a $5 piece of equipment that's been around since I was a kid(at least) is a "scam" ...seriously?
I never heard much about them which is why I asked. They have fancier ones for 20 bucks. Even that is not much to spend if it's better.

You are on thin ice @biggoal

I'll let this Thread continue but if I get even the faintest notion that you are trolling, it's getting the axe as well.

So do you have abs yet?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

This is what you need. Yes, it does work.

Looks good for only 33 bucks. I might have to order it. Does it give you a workout and burn calories or does it just tighten muscles?

I do like the chick in the product ad though. That is the kind of slim body I like. a lot on here hate that slim body though. I would plow her all night.
Yes, if you use your abs to control the crunch and not your biceps. Follow the video below and you'll be golden.

You do NOT need to burn any calories you are dangerously underweight.

That's the last time I'm going to say it...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

If you want her then go get her. First off search the ad in google, use the images tab and paste it, and see if you can find the model, then search on twitter/insta/facebook and message her.
Or if you want a girl like that then go and earn her, no point talking about it, go and get it.

That being said, if all you see is her outside and nothing inside you're not gonna find any woman of value, also you're probably not gonna have the motivation to do what it takes to get her.

I do not see why you need abs for OLD. However, if you do it correctly, 3 sets of 10 daily, you should start to see results within 4 - 6 weeks. You should be on a weigh gainer though.
No way results that fast with 3 sets. But the douche spiked hair, meat head gymcels post that on tinder and pof and look all tough and buffed doing that which impresses ladies.

So when I get buffed should I be a gymcel?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
