"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.

I'll make this short, I signed up for skydiving and on the 29th of March I'll have to take a test to prove that my body is fit for jumping. What I'll have to do:

-run 1 km in 3 minutes (hard)
-run 100 m in 12 seconds (hard)
-20 chin ups (hard)
-jump 2.5 m (easy)
-40 push ups (easy)

So running and lifting myself up to the bar will be the problem.

If this helps I'm 1.90 m tall and have 85 kg.

Give me any advice you can think of and is reasonable, maybe even a training plan, I will probably think and even try most of them because I have 2 months for this.

Thanks in advance!
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

running a 12 sec 100m is stupid if you ask me. Some people are not designed to run at that speed, even if their fitness levels are of a high standard.

This is for the military or something though right?

1km in 3 mins?

This sounds like parachuting school in the army, same requirements as us.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Wow, I just paid the money and they let me jump out of an airplane here in the states! As long as I was below 220 lbs or 100 kg's for that matter and I was it was all good and the chute opened. If this isn't for the military, find another dropzone or go to www.rosstraining.com and follow the programs on there. Work your anaerobic and aerobic systems and continue doing your chins, get a weight vest if you have to.
