"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.

Hi everyone,

I've got to spend most of my day sitting and it's really killing me: first, it makes my back hurt sometimes, and second it is making me lose my fitness level (use to move around a lot more before).

So here comes my question, I've read that using an exercise ball (o swiss ball, I guess you know what I mean) instead of your chair can help you with the back pain and it also forces you to move a bit to keep balance (I know it won't really make a lot of difference but I guess it's better than simply sitting on a chair, isn't it?)


So, does anyone know if it's really worth trying one of this things? Can you sit on it for long periods of time?
 

"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.

why not start an actual exercise regimen instead of just buying a wuss ball.

I do not want the ball as a substitute for working out. I thought that would be obvious.

I just want to know if they actually do something when you use it instead of a wuss chair ;).

That sounds like a good idea to me. Keep your back rounded and your abs tight wherever you go. It'll keep you in tip-top tension.

Sitting on fit-balls, or swiss balls, or whatever you want to call them, is excellent for your back.

Due to its instability, sitting on these balls forces your core muscles to activate in order to maintain your balance. Most people slouch when they sit in a normal chair - they are supported by the chair and so can afford to relax and sit in positions which place a lot of stress on the spine and core muscles. Over time, these awkard 'slouchy' sitting positions will cause back pain.

Fit-balls will force your core to be constantly active and so will help prevent slouching and subsequent back pain. If your core is weak you may find it difficult sitting on a fit-ball all day, but your core strength will quickly improve and you will find your back a lot better for it.

I recommend it.
 

"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.

Hi for the tips, manuva.

Has anyone else actually tried this? If I finally buy one and try it I'll report back my experiences.
