"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.

Which book or text could i use as a suitable reference for getting shredded, not just exercises but nutrition as well?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I found these most helpful:



Exercises from the first, nutrition from the second.

"Bigger Leaner Stronger"

Best all around no nonsense all inclusive book I've found. No BS. Not too long. Covers diet, exercise, supplements. All science backed. Nothing fancy. All you need.

Barbell Medicine and Stronger by Science are both groups that have information guided by science (they're doctors).
 

"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.

"Bigger Leaner Stronger"
I was looking at the description of this book on Amazon. There were some notes on different factors that lowered testosterone. One of them was moderate consumption of alcohol.

I had heard that before. But I had recently watched Stone Cold Steve Austin interviewing the Undertaker (pro wrestlers, for those who don't know). During the interview, Austin brings out a bottle of Jack Daniels, and they do shots while they're reminiscing. I was thinking about alcohol lowering testosterone levels, but I don't think there are a lot of men more manly than these two guys, and they clearly like to drink. I was wondering how that works.

It works because of anabolic steroids.
