"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Just went to go see "300" last night. Pretty intense battle scenes. I've been looking forward to this movie because I workout out according to the Crossfit principle (www.crossfit.com). Focuses mainly on athletic training and getting stronger. Different workout everyday focused on basics. Pullups, pushups, dips, deads, overhead press and squats. For you strength guys, Mark Rippetoe strongly pushes Crossfit.

Anyway. The 300 guys have amazing physiques and trained with Mark Twight. A former Crossfit coach that started his own gym, Gym Jones or something like that. If you are interested scroll down to Video Journal 3 "Spartan Training"

It's especially good if you bore easily at the gym. I hate it but I have to fit in a day of the big three.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Anyone else train like this? Mark Twight has a lot of cool equipment (tires, kettle bells) but you can improvise.

I bet a very few people have that kind of dedication to training and strict diet unless they're getting paid to do so.
