"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.

A body can produce more force based on a list of factors:

-Improvements in general strength. (Try improving your squat, deadlift, bench, rows, cleans)

-Improvements in explosive strength (Try doing sprints, medicine ball throws, plyometrics)

-Improvements in core strength (Try low intensity ab work, high reps)

-Improvements in technique

-Gaining weight
 

"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.

On a slight tangent, Muay Thai hand techniques tend to be weaker or less focused on than those of western boxing. Part of this comes from the stance which was touched on earlier and part of this comes from the fact that in Thailand a punch is the lowest scoring technique with head kicks and throws from the clinch racking up the points.

If you really want to learn to work the bag then work with a boxing coach.
