"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Keep your calories up, and don't jog in the morning before you eat, and you will be fine.

From what your wanting, yes just keep your calories up and in the form of proteins and carbs.
You will burn carbs running and burn protein building the muscle.

I'm 16, 5'11" and weigh 180lbs, I used to have running in my routine. It is good for cutting.

Keep it short and the intensity level as high as possible.

I know you don't like doing sprints but they are anaerobic, as in not using the glycogen in your muscles for energy. I am in the Army and we run a lot. At one point I was running about 20 miles a week and still trying to add mass in the gym. It's hard but definitely possible.

Good Luck!
