"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.

Well im trying to get a six pack. And I was told that crunches are the best thing to do. So I just wanted some opinions on how good they are compared to a sit-up. Also are crunches just as effective?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Crunches are a waste of time, 6 packs are made in the kitchen.

Yes, you need to do ab workouts for a 6 pack. But you also need to lower body fat to a low level, around 10%.

regular high-rep crunches do sh!t for your sixpack.

yes, diet is 80%, can't have a sixpack with chub on your stomach, but..

if you want a sixpack, you just need to do crunches with some heavy weight.. sets of maybe 6-15 reps.. the less reps, the more weight - the better.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Sir, I wholeheartedly agree. You have beaten me to the punch. Well said.


Like he said:

Need low bodyfat to have sixpack. (minimum 10%)

Weighed crunches.

On a side note:
