"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.

Hi all. Went for an X ray today. It shows that i got this lower back injury, probably because i was too zealous with dead lifting. Have learnt my lesson. Anyway, I would like to know if this is curable, and how should i go about curing it? I am considering surgery.

Thanks.
 

"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.

The spine isn't supposed to be straight. It's supposed to have a natural curve to it. Nothing too extreme. If you're worried about it, then go to a chiropractor. If you get a good one he might be able to help.

A sign of a good chiropractor is that he won't sell you his service as a cure all for all your problems.

Chiropractors are great for stuff like that. If you want more a more traditional medical approach go see a spinal specialist. Most spine guys are neuro or orthopedic surgeons with an addition 1-2 year spine fellowship.... last time I checked most of us here don't have these qualifications, so its probably not the best place to ask something like this.
