"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.

It's a lot of work to gain (and maintain) weight.

It's expensive and you must be dedicated. But does it really matter what you weigh or how you look? I just don't have the time, money, or dedication to eat like I should to gain 20lbs and I'm happy with how I look. I don't look skinny, but I definitely have a slim build. Skinny in my opinion is looking unhealthy.
 

"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.

Yes it matters how you look, not so much what you weigh though you can't discount that either.

Eye of the beholder and everything, you think you look 'slim', other people might think you look skinny. On the other hand, people might think you look normal.

If you don't have the time, money, and dedication to look bigger/be stronger/feel better, then don't worry about it. There's a million people in the world like you for every person who takes their health and fitness into their own hands, so don't think you're alone in your decision.

Food is actually cheaper when your on a meal not to mention you know actually where the food is coming from. As for the "I don't have time" is crap. EVERYONE (me included) makes time for the things in life that are important to them.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
