"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.

"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

If there was something to make you taller, don't you think everyone would take it and be 6'2"?

I'm an idiot? No, Fred, I'm sorry... you're an idiot. You've proven that time and time again. Damn Canucks...

A local football player that I went to school with awhile ago went to his doctor for a physical. He was about 5'4" when his doctor prescribed a version of steroids to him. By the end of the year, he was 5'10". (Watch Fred get all huffy.)

*clears up the confusion*

You're both idiots. :)

On a serious note though, not all roids are created equal. I was perscribed to a type of steroid when I was a toddler cuz I had a nasty allergic reaction to Penicillin and ended up with hives. It wasn't an anabolic roid as far as I know. Anabolic roids do stunt growth. That's a fact.

Do heavy lifts that compress the spine, like squats, deadlifts, hack squats, clean and jerk. The only growth hormone triggers are in the spine, and these excersizes are the only ones that promote GH and Test.

On a further note, you still have a spurt to go. You really do grow until you are 21. My bud went 5'10" to 6'2" between begining of college and end of sophomore year, so don't brush it off as BS, it happens.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

It's a badly-kept secret.
From what I've heard, there's not much you can do to promote growth.

Sleep more, eat more, perhaps spine-compressing lifts like Soshyopath suggested - although you have to be careful with them. But even those things won't really make you grow much more (if at all). You're height is difficult to change... like wrists, it's all bone structure.

There's not much you can do to make yourself grow more, but there are a hell of a lot of things you can do to stunt your growth!
