"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.

"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.

You should start a weight training program. Just do compound exercises (bench, squat, deads) and get the juices flowing in your body. Eat a lot of protein, start making some muscles, these will help burn fat. Next, increase you cardio, start at 30 min of the most you can do 3 times a week. Increase this until you get to 5 times a week, with two days off. Also, try to do this first thing in the morning or on an empty stomach. Good luck.
This is important for burning fat! Go for a long run first think in the morning. When you wake up your body has no food in your stomach to burn off as energy while you are running so it will burn your fat for energy.

Stop drinking beer?
"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.

My best friend used to drink 2-3 Buds a few times during the week nights and 7+ on Friday and Saturday.
He was pushing 220. Now that he doesn't drink thoughout the week and the same on weekends, he's lost 20 pounds without any extra physical activity.

This is a debatable issue. IMO it doesn't matter what time of day you do cardio, you'll still get the same results.
One thing that isn't debatable is that for optimal fat loss you should do cardio at high intensity for short periods. Not low intensity for long periods. It would be better to do wind sprints than to run long distances.

"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.

Yes it is.

And this is debatable FOR THE SAME REASON cardio first thing in the morning is debatable.

Here's an interesting link on interval training that says short intervals are better than long intervals for fat loss. The fat oxidation was 3 times lower in the group that did the longer intervals.
