"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.

I'm 5' 9".

I want to be at least 6 ft. I just turned 16 a month ago. I haven't been getting much sleep due to school and all, but now I get about 9 hours a day. Is there anything you can incorporate into your lifestyle to grow taller? Like drink milk --> more calcium --> stronger bones --> etc.

I don't know. Maybe nothing can be done. Please offer suggestions and thanks as always.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Start playing basketball on regular basis. That should get you an inch higher after a year or so of daily practice. I've seen a lot of people playing basketball and they haven't grown at all. The thing is, most white folks don't jump at all when they shoot the ball. They just freeze and shoot the ball from there. Try jumping and all that cool stuff. You still have some growing to do so if you start playing bball now you should be able to grow at least an inch by the time you turn 20 which is about the age you stop growing in height.

I don't know about tennis but swimming will definitely get you a little taller and you will get slim by doing it on regular basis so long as you don't overeat. Just look at the professional athletes that compete in the sport that interests you. If they're taller than average then there's something about the sport that makes you grow taller. Basketball and swimming are just a couple of the most popular.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Losing weight does not make you taller. You can appear taller, but you won't be. I'm pretty sure height just has to do with genetics. Playing a sport typically won't make you taller. The people playing in the NBA were tall when they started and wouldn't have made the cut if they weren't as tall and good at basketball as they were. And there are some shorter people in the NBA. I just really don't believe that anything about a sport would make a person taller.

Jumping will allow you to jump higher because of the muscles involved and this and that, but I don't see reason for it to make you taller. Just get rest, eat right, and hope for the best. Give your body the energy it needs and it'll get you to your potential.

Agreed.

I hear that hard core bodybuilding may affect your height growth negatively. (Slowing it that is.)
