"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 have recently decided to gain some weight being that I was 150 at 5 '11" a few days ago. I have consistently increased my cal. intake to 3300 and actually eat dinner now. :woo:

I am wondering, what would be a good weight for my height? I was thinking adding good 30lb (one pound a week) while weightlifting would be good, but then I read about other men at 6' who say they are 177 and look skinny, etc. Do I need to aim for upper 190's? I am very skinny so I am not worried about fat just yet.


I can't wait to fit in my clothes. :rockon:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

180 sounds pretty good for 5'11

If you are 6-7% bf too then you'll look jacked.

I would say get to 180 first. lol its not easy.

When you reach 180 then decide if you wanna gain more.

Good luck! working out will be one of the best things you've ever decided to pursue!

Its impossible to know because it all depends on what percentage of that weight is muscle.
