"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.

Hey dudes...

Im in a bit of a rut. Im currently bulking but i need to improve my cardiovascular health. I need to go the distance during BJJ sparring and matches. Now i could do running,skipping ,swiming but i will lose mass and i dont want that. How can i get fitter cardio health and lose minimal mass?
 

"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.

All you need to worry about with cardio is that the extra exercise is burning more caleries and speeding up your metabolism. Logically, eating more caleries can counter that.

Your not gonna become a runt after a little cardio.

Sprints of "Interval training" are good and you won't lose mass.

Yeah, but cardio reduces appetite.

WHAT?! If it reduces appetite you're doing way too much. I'm sorry, but I don't know anyone who does cardio regularly and doesn't eat like a horse. (myself being a case in point - leg day is the only day I don't feel like eating because I don't do cardio in the morning, I am starving the rest of the week).

Maybe I should have been more specific, but yea that's pretty much what I meant.
