"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.

"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.

You can't do spot treatment for losing fat. You're getting man boobs because of genetics. If you want to lose them you're going to have to lose the fat all around your body, so you might want to try DIESEL's cutting up plan or something similar. At the very least you need to start monitoring your diet and cutting back on carbs and fat.

try a topical cream like yohimburn. Some people claim that it works for spot reduction. It seems logical. I posted an article on "the science of topical fat loss" recently. do a search.

Also read up on flax seed oil. I read somewhere that it has anti-aromatase properties.

read up on nolvadex as well. an anti-estrogen that seems to act on receptors in breast tissue.

It's a badly-kept secret.
I could be oh-so wrong, but from what I've heard, spot reducing doesn't work...

Anyone got any studies to dis/prove this?

I tried doing a search Viroid... :/

The search term you specified (fat) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
I put the phrase in quotes and everything.

I always thought those creams were a scam. I'd like to see the facts that back up their claims.
