"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.

Go to a tanning salon. I do and it's made a huge difference in my appearance.

Start off by going every 2 days for a month. After that you can just go once or twice a week to maintain your tan.

If your embarrased about a tanning salon , you get get a tank top and shorts and do stuff like basketball , jogging , bike riding , walking somewhere or you can go to a outdoor swimming pool alot.

Also, think about everyday things you do inside... can you do it outside? If you're reading a book, do it outside, if you're sorting some washing out, find some way of doing it in the back garden. Are you on the phone? if it's cordless/cell phone take it outside. In a pub? take the drink outside and chillout there..

Watch out for the stripes of death though - watch lines and sun-glass lines! *speaks from experience*
 

"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.

For a alternative, use some sunless tanning stuff. Personally I dont like the risk of skin cancer (it runs in my family) and the stuff I have looks completly natural. I think its coppertone endless summer. Smells weird but works really well.

One this is agreed, a tan looks good.

I go to a tanning salon too. It was quite embarrassing at first, but I realised a lot of guys use them these days.

Of course, you have to be aware of the dangers of skin cancer and premature ageing, but just be sensible about it. If you get burned, you're overdoing it.

But on the whole it gives me a MASSIVE boost in confidence, improves my complexion and gives me a lot more energy.

Oh and you get to see a lot of hot ladies at tanning salons. :)

I tan. I love it. It's relaxing, I look great. If you're gonna not tan, do it because of the cancer, not because of the shame.

LOL.


Hey if you are going to get tan from sunlight you may get it faster near water or snow since it partly reflects the sunrays and you get more sunshine on you.

Heh, I was snowboarding like 4 days on easter couple of years ago and the sun was shining all day long every day.. There was a funny tan line from a skicap on my face afterwards. I believe I wouldn't got that tan without snow reflecting the light.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

uh, no it isn't

1. you can go out in the sun if you want to get a tan
2. you can look healthier another way by improving your fitness, drinking lots of water, breathing properly and eating well.

actually no: there are people (like me) who simply cannot get a tan no matter how much exposure to sunlight I get. It's simply genetics. Nothing you can do about it.

except this:
* to look beter you could bleach your hair. Now you have a dark-pale combination which enhances the paleness of you skin. Like those Goth types do ;)
* also: only wear colors that suit pale skin.
