"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.

FortifiedIron.com has great forums with guys who know what the hell theyre talking about. Powerlifting, Olympic Lifting, Bodybuilders, and even guys who are just there to put on mass. They've got some of the most helpful moderators and theres very little if any flaming that I've seen. Layne Norton, one of the biggest naturals I've ever seen, is a genius. Theyve got sports section, nutrition section..its incredible. Its an amazing site. I reccomend you give it a try.



Bodybuilding.com (dont go to their forums, its a bunch of bull).

The site itself has many articles and workouts for you to look through. Whether you want to bulk or cut, theres something. It has comprehensive articles written on everything from personal hygiene, to using sledge hammers to build your back strength. Big plus. The bad side, the forums they offer have too many egotistical dumbf*cks who think they know everything and will give you a bunch of crap. Use fortifiediron.com if u want to talk to people about that stuff.
 

"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.
