I was bench pressing and I tried to go for one more rep of 165 and I lost it and broke my sternum.
"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.
Dumb stuff you've done at the gym...

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Not wearing any deodorant but an unwashed shirt and having some guy come over and tell me basically that every one thinks I smell like ass ^_^

Wow...what a bunch of morons! Just kidding guys.
I've experienced severe boxer ripping at the bottom of my ATG squat. It was loud and noticeable. My farts have been known to clear out the dumbbell area (milks fault). I'm sure I'll think of more later

A friend once tossed me a can of soda, I missed catching it, and the sharp edge hit me in the eyebrow. Then I bled all over the high school weight room.

i hit a sharp edge on a bench with my shin and i was bleeding everywhere. when i did it i tripped and it was very noisy... and i still have a chunk missing from my leg where it happened.
"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.

OMFG hitting your shins are the worst thing ever. Once I was climbing a wall and I swung my other leg over and smacked it right on the edge of the cement wall lolArizona iced tea said:
Damn it hurt to walk after that
