"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Change your diet.
Eats fruits,peanuts & veggies around the clock. It will make sure your stomach stays in the 'ON' position and constantly processing stuff thus making it hard for you to gain weight.
I don't mean buy fruit juice and drink that crap,or orange,apple,grape or any other that stuff. I mean solid fruits;strawberries,grapes,pineapples,tomatoes & bananas.

Care to elaborate what you do at the gym and how your diet looks?
I have a definitive formula, that works for my body very well.
A) Get up early and run for 20 minutes.
B) Every other day do weight training. Be it whatever, exercise all muscles.
C) Proper diet. I write down calories on paper and enter them into spread sheet. Adjust caloric intake so that I feel compfy and loose about 10 lbs a month.
C.1) What you eat should have labels or a definitive nutrition value chart somewhere. It should be low fat and fat to protein ratio should be a good 3/4 protein to 1 part fat, or something similar. Lean foods.
D) Your last meal before 5 PM, you go to bed early and get plenty of sleep, wake up and repeat. It's very good life style, believe me.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I'd bet a lot of money you haven't tried everything. Christ what is with this defeatist attitude that seems to be compounding everywhere these days.HandyAndy said:
Is there a new epidemic I haven't heard of where your balls fall off and you grow breasts? Actually try finding some information in depth using the search function and you will find there is quite a number of decent threads on diet/training etc. Then, and only then, should you have to resort to making a new thread if something still isn't clear. Hell did you even try the stickies?
P.s.-How the hell is anyone going to help if you don't provide any information on your current training and diet! Use common sense!:trouble:
Edit-Stuntmann I am sorry to say this but...please don't give advice on fat loss, muscle loss yes, but not fat...
Fat-loss is a real war for some people. Treat it that way! You can't just rock up to a gym do curls, check out the chicks, cycle, then go home. You need to totally overhaul your diet, training and life style.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Well, your advice, while well-intended, will prove to be catabolic for many people. Now if you have a lot of bodyfat to lose and little muscle then it could work, but 10lbs per month (for how many months??) for someone who isn't obese is going to include muscle loss with the fat.Stuntmann said:

Most guys are trying to gain weight for football, you know?
Try cutting out sugar (crabs) and eating more raw vegetables. They are good if you dip them in a salad dressing you like. Also, unsweetened tea is a good zero-calorie drink, and you'll get a little energy from the caffeine. Green tea is better than black.
But im 270lbs, i dont need to gain anymore lol, i dont really care about numbers, i want to slim my belly down, and so far no help with that...any fat burning workouts or anything, i want to flatten it out some...Bible_Belt said:

I'm not known to do this often, but this is becoming redundant.
The solution to your problem is a combination of:
a) healthy, whole food diet that is high in protein and fat, and moderate carbs.
b) low intensity morning cardio
c) hydration
d) rest
c) patience

If you have a complaint, send me a PM. Otherwise, the answers are all listed above, as well as numerous times in the H&F Vault.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
