"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Eating contest -- HELP!

So this guy I know has been talking some ****, and we were inspired by the Nathan's contest to have a hot dog eating contest of our own. There's no way in hell that we'll be able to put away as many hot dogs as that little Japanese guy, but I still fully expect to kick this guy's ass. However, I can't discount this guy. He can definitely eat. I'm on a 3500-4000 calorie diet of almost all real food right now, but that's spread over six meals per day. This is going to be a one-sitting blow-out. So I beg you all...HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THIS?

I very seriously have to beat this guy down.
 

"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.

You're both idiots to be honest. Worst case scenario, you may get sick/throw up etc, and you may gain some fat. You couldn't of just fought each other?

Oh come on, lighten up. It's just for fun. We don't hate each other. Besides, if he throws up, that's terrific.

I think you should eat as many hot dogs as you can, and then kick each other’s as$ afterwards.

But seriously, that Japanese kid who ate 60 plus hot dogs…that’s brutal. He must have some kind of strange stomach control.

Prepare to feel like sh!t. Don’t eat more than 7... it just won’t be worth it.

I read somwhere that you should NEVER starve yourself prior to an eating contest and drink 1 gallon or more if you can of water the night before, just before you go to bet because it streches out your stomach.

Hope it helps.
 

"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 would be very interested to know how much you weigh...:D

Oh, and don't forget to give your height either.

Eating really large meals the couple days before the "duel" will stretch the stomach out a lot. I think water digests too fast to be as effective, but who knows?

I've seen a couple of documentaries on how he prepares for contests.
He'll eat up 25lbs of food in one sitting when he trains. It's how he stretches out his stomach.

I think he won some competition where he ate like 25lbs of cow brains or something like that.

He dips his hot dogs in water and doesn't chew much, as it tires you out.

I think he use to eat the buns and dogs separate...dunk the buns in water and bite and swallow the dogs.

The dude is like 5'6" tall. I think he use to be around 125lbs. Now he's like 160 or 170lbs.

I'm 175 pounds at 6'4". Skinny as hell, yes. But I can definitely handle my food. I'm thinking that large amounts of food and water that I'm eating/drinking under the Warboss (Doggcrap/intensemuscle.com) philosophy will give me an edge.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
