"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.

I can see my ribs.

Hey all.
I've been working out for a while, & i've got quite a skinny frame. Now, my ab's are starting to really take shape. You can just make out the individual abs if i breath out, & it's the right light.

Though, i looked in the mirror of the toilet at work the other day (where there is bright light) & i was shocked to notice my ribs were visible! eww.

Now, my stomach had that kinda square section of abs sticking out (though no abs were visible in that light). It's not that i'm stupidly skinny as i'm developing a 'spare tire' on my belly, but the ribs thing makes me look REALLY skinny.

How can i stop my ribs from showing?
 

"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.

cover them with muscles. You can se emy ribs on the side somewhat, but not much. Its cool man, it means your cut. Just fill with muscle. A little rib w/BBQ sauce never hurt anyone.

Ribs on the side you can't help. I can always see mine next to my lats, and moreso if I do a ab flex or a double bicep. Some of those are even muscles IIRC since they look like they mesh with my ribs.

Just bulk man, don't worry about it.
 

"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.

We talked about this a couple months ago. Do a search for "serratus". You can cover those puppies with thick hard muscle pretty easily.

Maybe you should consider bulking.
