"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 am 16 years old and I am only 5 foot 6, 105 pounds! This is so rediculous 105 pounds is like lighter than most girls!

I want to gain some weight now and build some muscles. But I have a child-like face and I think I would look weird if I be muscular with my face.

I am also a hard gainer so how many times do I train per week? I heard 1-2 times a week is good? I want to weigh to at least 160-180 pounds, is a 50-70 pound gain even possible before I finish high school (I am finishing grade 10)? I don't have money so I can't buy body training books.

Are there any online free training guides for gaining weight and muscles?

Does increasing my testosterone mean that I would have a tougher time concentrating on academics? I want to be physical at the same time academic.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Women may be not be my strong point but working out? I own the weights.

Now, since your young and and have never been training with weights before i assume I think it's best you start with full body workouts. It teachers your muscles to start coordinating done and the many compound exercises will increase your testosterone levels.

I personally love www.stronglifts.com . Look up the 5x5 program.

Not only will this increase your size and tetosterone you'll get pretty ****ing strong from the squats, deadlifts, overhead presses etc.

I went from 120 pounds to 148 on this program. All muscle. I jumped to 165 when I started conventional body building workouts but ever since Muay Thai I've dropped back down to 150 and have been staying there, with like 6% body fat.

I've just switched back to 5x5 right now to increase my strength and endurance.

All of these are 3x10 (with the exception of 21's)

Monday-Chest/Back

Incline Dumbbell Presses
Flat Bench Press
Machine Flys
Bent over rows
Reverse Flys
Pull Ups

Tuesday-Rest!!!

Wednesday-Arms (biceps, triceps, and forearms)

Twenty One's
Preachers curls (barbell)
Hammer Curls (dumbbells)

For the forearms just do whatever you like, whether its regular wrist curls or something more dramatic you found on the internet.

Calf Raises
Lunges

On the whole testosterone affecting your academics, no not at all. But you will find yourself chasing tail alot and being a bit more blunt/aggressive. When I mean aggressive I don't mean roid rage like, but more "I'm a man now so ****ing deal with it *****"

Believe me, after a 5x5 workout it will send you back to good ol cro magnom days where you want to just rip a ****ing ostrich's head off.
 

"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.
