"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.

Ive always been lean, not that skinny tho.. and at about 15 people started asking if i go to the gym, etc. since i was kind of ripped (think of brad pitt on fightclub...)

Lately im gonna try to put on some more muscle on, not too much tho, i dont really fancy being huge.. but i heard that if you do too much cardio you cant bulk up.. So the only cardio im doing now is surfing everyday and later downhill skateboarding..

So any1 knows if surfing will have an effect on my muscle gain (its like 1 and a half hours of that everday)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

don't worry about it... surfing is hard work but not intense, steady-state cardio. just make sure you're getting enough calories & protein, and watch for signs of stalling on the weights. if you stall, try surfing a little less.

surfing is fine, it will tone your muscles (swimming) and make your muscles more defined.

I only wish I had a beach near me...I'd be even happier if this cold weather(-50 degrees celcius) would go away! :cry:

surfing isn't nearly as much calorie-burning of an activity than say, running. I used to surf in florida a bunch and I realized that if I wanted to get slimmer or bigger, I had to rely on other cardio options and lifting to do the job.

If you like surfing, then I think you should surf. Don't worry so much as what it'll do for you, if you like doing it, then do it. I personally like surfing, good workout, helps core development, endurance, and makes you swim better. And there are women at the beach, that I can look at while im waiting for waves.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

It was ridiculously easy to work my game on the beach during a bunch of my surf sessions.

my college roommate was passionate about surfing...and honestly he never bragged about any of his sexual 'exploits' (he just wasn't that kind of guy) -- except the girls he picked up between high school & college while surfing. he was practically a different person when reminiscing about that stuff :D

in other words, chicks dig surfers.
