"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 don't understand anything, I think I should go visit a doctor or something. One day my abs show through even without tensing anything up. Then let's say two days later they won't anymore. Then two days after that, they will show again ... wtffffff ? I think the mirror is fvcking with my head or something.
 

"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.

Just eat healthy and you won't get any problems with your abs.

Do more cardio and you won't have any problems.

I don't know anything about your diet, but my guess would be you've been eating something that makes you retain water more, i.e. bloating. When I eat a bunch of candy I look really fat for a day or so, then it goes away.

Ok I'll look into that. But I don't see me eating irregular every two days though, but could be the water stuff. But hey they say to drink loads of it as it helps repower your muscles..

It most likely is that water thing, plus you probably have a good but not perfect definition (bodyfat percentage). Its the same with me. Sometimes my abs look pretty good and sometimes after eating or drinking a lot etc. they dont look that good to me anymore. Im pretty sure its just the retained water too in your case.

And yes you should drink lots of water, but I think if u drink lots of water it doesnt really get stored but goes out again right away...and helps keep your system (and piss) clear. If you eat lots of dairy products for example more water will be stored in your body, etc.

(Correctm e if im wrong cause im not completely sure about everything i wrote myself lol)

Carb overload, and/or water retention. Plus the fact that you may have eaten alot of protein which enlarges your stomach.

Well to get the muscles pumped, you have to put strain on them from weightlifting. However for definition, that would be from holding alot less water and not overloading on carbs.

I have just noticed by looking at myself in the mirror before i can just slightly see them coming through. :)
 

"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.
