"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'm going to take a wild guess and say yes, but not much. Bodyweight exercises only do so much...

You know you're going to get some "lazy" comments.

if you wanna build your upper body (chest, back, arms), try doing hands-only pushups. that is, stand in a non-vertical position (inclined a bit) on your hands only, and try to push yourself up. its hard, and takes some practice, but its a workout and a half :p also, do some dips using chairs and tables or whatever. that'll work you out a bit.

ps if youre interested in the hands-only pushups and how to be able to do them, pm me

Yes, but it wont work very well. You need to keep upping the resistance in order for your body to keep growing. Unless you can find a way to keep making the push-ups harder and harder than you'll stop growing. Get a job, save some money, and join a gym. That's the best route to take.
 

"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.

if it becomes too easy, take a stack of books and put them on you. use your imagination and you'll have a home gym on the cheap.

personally, if it gets too easy for me, i just change my technique a little bit (spread the arms a little more or less), or change the rhythm (doing it slower will be a lot tougher on you).

to bulk your chest, work your core, legs, and back, too.
