"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.

"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.

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!
