"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.

Hi I am currently 17 and is 5,7 and was wondering if anybody here at my age or at a later age had success growing taller? 5,9 is my goal which to me is perfect I wouldn't mind being 5,7 but I know regardless of age that we can all grow taller :)
 

"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.

I have been cycling, bballing and swimming :) I grew 5 cm!!! and this took me 2 months wow.... I read that also instead of eating a lot of protein and veggies even though it will increase your height ( only for a short duration ) on the long term veggies is better. Also heard about this hormone called IGF-1 which has been really successful. Anybody know anything about IGF 1 ?

At 17, you should have an inch or so left in you. Depending on your parents/granparents. I just seem to keep growing (tho slowly) even at 21.

When your adenohypophysis secrets growth hormone(GH) your liver reacts by secreting IGF1. IGF1 is actually what makes you grow in response to GH.

The adenohyophysis produces GH when you sleep, so if you are in puberty or still young just make sure you eat well and get enough sleep.

GH is also called "Somatotropine" = "trophic hormone of sleep"
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

If you are American they you are already physically inferior on a genetic level, the ****ty food you eat doesnt help either. So yeah, maybe you will grow a bit more, but start to get it into your head that you need to be happy with whatever you get.

You should speak with your physicial about the hormone.

But like I said, sleep is key. Your body naturally produces HGH, but only when you sleep.

could be because of bad diets and bad habits that society brings to the table.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
