"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.

GNC has this money back/store credit on all their supps it you dont like them.

Well, my frineds go to GNC quite a bit. I refuse because of their high prices. My sneaky friends figured something out, though. One bought an 2lb jug of vanilla protein. He emptied it out, put 2lbs of flour in it and covered the top with a few scoops of protein. He then proceeded to take the protein back to GNC telling the cashier that it gave him diarrhea cha cha cha...so they gave him store credit.

Another friend of mine bought a bottle of fat burners. Emptied out all the capsules and filled them back up with flour. He then went to the store complaining of chest pains (or was it stomach pains..cant remember). He also got store credit.

Man, are my friends a$$holes, or what?

NOW, read carefully, YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER DO THIS!! Just because GNC rips you off, dosent mean that you should rip them off. :D

PEACE
 

"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.

Funny stuff. One of my friends does the same thing but takes it ten steps futher and does it to high end electronics retailers. He replaces computer parts with older models puts them back in the box and politely asks for his refund.

Dude, I am not going back to GNC ever.. Not only are their prices high, this werid manager at one of their stores tried to hook me up with steriods under the table!

For the same price as a ****ty 2lb bottle of nasty tasting chocolate protein mix, I got a 10lb bucket of tasty N-Large, a bottle of ZMA, and some tanning lotion from bodybuilding.com!

I did something similar to this.

I bought a 5 lb bag of flour at the grocery store, emptied it, then I filled it up with 5 lbs of GNC protein powder, then returned it.

...Man, did I screw those people over. :)
 

"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 just wanted to say something about Viroid's comment of "Just because GNC rips you off, dosent mean that you should rip them off." GNC's prices are high, yeah, but they aren't ripping anyone off. If the price isn't justifiable and the person still buys the product from GNC, they are ripping themselves off. It's not exactly right to blame a company for what a consumer purchases. And Viroid, that's nothing against you and I realize the comment was kind of made in jest, but it's a pretty prevalent opinion that bothers me a bit.

With that said, I work at a GNC and thus get the 30% discount (sometimes 40%) and I still prefer much more to purchase my stuff online. I shop almost exclusively with Mike at www.1fast400.com and I highly recommend you guys check him out. He is a super guy and will do what he can to take care of you and make sure you get what you need (especially if you talk to him in person). Otherwise, www.anabolicminds.com sells some great prohormone stuff and is geared more toward teaching people how to make their own stuff than sales. Support the guys that do their homework and take care of their customers.
