"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'm trying to get some more muscle mass, I'm pretty skinny but have a little muscle now. I used to have 6 pack abs and little pecks but always pretty small arms.

I'm like 5'11 and 150 pounds, and I'm 23 y/o. Currently have a little flab on my lower stomach. The foundation for my abs again and decent pecks. But still, little arms.

My goal is to lose the stomach fat, while getting my abs back and gaining more chest, shoulder, arm and leg muscle.

Now here's the tricky part. I want to do this so I can always manage and maintain my gains easily. So I just want to do this by changing my diet (which I've started) I started eating a lot more protein and cutting back on my fatty foods.

Right now just doing it with wide/close grip push ups, sit ups, the thing where I lay on my back and do leg lifts (for lower abs?), and standing alf raises for my calf muscles (work REALLY good). And I do disc golf almost every day for my cardio. Started using some dumbells for my for arms too but it's a little too heavy so I can't do as many reps as I'd like so I'll get lighter ones.

Pretty much I just want to avoid a gym and supplements, I just want something I can easily maintain and won't get all fat if I stop working out.
 

"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.

Sorry to break it to you, but you'll need a gym to add any considerable amount of muscle mass to your frame.

EFFORT pretty much nailed it on the head...

On top of training, you're gonna need to follow a well-planned out diet consistently. If being ripped was easy, then everyone would be ripped.
