"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.

Ok here’s one I use. I have noticed I am more calm but also have that testosterone edge which I love. With ashwagandha I get palpitations but not this. So it’s better for me.

I read on the package not to use for extended periods so I am using it when I need an edge but not every day.
It’s called Panax Ginseng
 

"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.

I make my own Kefir. It's cheap guys I bought the grains online. Afterwards just feed them milk.

It's cheaper than buying store bought which isn't as good

I used to do that too but they grew so fast and before I knew it I couldn’t keep up with the growth. Having to strain the grains every day got too time consuming

I know what you mean. I always have 2 jars going - this allows me to fill up a yogurt container in a few days.

You can give away the extra's or simply just eat them --- that's a nice probiotic boost.

I sacrificed a bunch of them the past two days. The kefir started culturing in a mere couple of hours and I really didn't want to have to start running the grocery store to buy a gallon of milk everyday

Yeah man I hear that. At one point my kefir grains had grown to the size of those large marbles
 

"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.
