"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

you've got 4 exercises for biceps and 2 for back. Let's get our priorities straight. Add some deadlifts and squats. But other than that, just get in the gym and do it. Good luck.

How could HIIT be "slightly" overrated? Even if it was "slightly" overrated, that "slightly" would give it it's edge. HIIT is not overrated, it works great and in most cases much better at burning fat than standard 45-60 minute cardio. Not only that, it doesn't last 45-60 minutes so you are in and out. Just as with using heavy weights for lifting rather than lighter weights.

Work = Time x Intensity

Push harder in less time. Besides HIIT does increase metabolism throughout the day. Even if it WERE just SLIGHTLY overrated, which it isn't, would you rather waste your time doing anything else?

Thanks guys. Keep in mind, I don't have access to a public gym, but I have a bench, dumbbells, an elliptical, and one of those home gym things at home. Hence...all the exercises revolve around the equipment I have.

Squats.....I read somewhere that they inhibit growth. So I stopped doing them. I used to carry 2 watermelons and do squats...broke one by accident.
