"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.

Is it good to eat then work out? for example after waking up and stretching would it be more better to workout and then grab breakfast? or breakfast than workout?
 

"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.

I dont like it at all, don't eat within an hour before a workout. That is my opinion. I slug off and lift less effective.

I generally find that my best lifting sessions are like 2 hrs after eating a heavy carb/protein breakfast. I end up with so much energy.

during the winter bulking routine, this is my breakfast:

- bowl of cereal
- 4 poached eggs or 3 chicken breasts, or 2 egg 2 chicken breasts + 4 pieces of whole weat 12 grain bread (it's like 100 carbs just from the bread)
- 2 apples.
- 2L of water.

(you should see my post workout meals haha)

"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.

yes, I always eat before a workout, you should never work out on an empty stomach.

You must eat, like it has been said before would you run your car without gas in the tank? then why would you run your body without any fuel to run your body?
