"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.

i"m currently up to 2 minutes, on toes and elbows, hands under my chin, spine held rigidly straight. I can also go 2 minutes seated on the floor, fingers interlaced at my navel, knees locked straight and heels held 6" off of the floor. Not one right after the other, but, say, on alternate days. I can take any man's bare knuckle punch to the navel. I've been able to do this for decades now. Can you?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Nice, good conditioning, but this "any man" missed the right spot of course.
 

“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.

There are nearly 50 "right spots", given the right strike, angle and level of power. This is not about the ability to do damage, but rather about the fitness of one's abs.

Good for your abs, I know it feels awesome and they're probably stronger than mine, so don't want to disrespect you. Although, if you can withstand "any man's hit" in a place where he's not going to hit, it just doesn't sound very awesome.

PLENTY of men "think" that the stomach is a good spot to strike. Just like it never occurs to most men to grab and rip a man's nuts, ignorance man.

Hell yes. We got punished in basic with planks and flutter kicks or simply were told to do them during PT other days. Now I do a lot of ab wheel work.
 

"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.
