"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.

My calves are disgusting. I am a skinny guy, but my legs and upper body look good. My calves however, are disgustingly thin. I can't seem to get them to grow, either. I've definitely gained mass in my upper boddy and thighs...

It's to the point where I don't want to wear shorts when I'm with a girl.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Seated and standing calf raise works well...raise and lower slowly and be sure to get a good squeeze at the top...

For me, if I'm not feeling a brief and intense burn after each set of calf raises, I've not worked them hard enough.

Long distance running, BTW, will build your calves.

Dude! I've done distance running all my life!

Anyone here with skinny calves who has somehow made them big?

coolrunning, I am in the same boat as you. With me, I have noticed, the way I started putting on size in the calves was hitting them twice a week with heavy weights, doing standing, sitting calf raises and donkey raises. I use to play soccer and I never saw them grow once. With calves you really have to push way past their limits.

Yea weight train them like every other muscle so you can increase size (achieve hypertrophy). Sets of 6-12 reps are best for this.
 

"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'm with Salvatore here - calves are almost entirely genetic.

I'm interested in that link he's posted though - I'll give that a shot.
