"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.

Hi,
I've never worked out before (have good height and right weight) but I lack strength. I want to increase my stamina and strength. How should I begin ? Should I join a gym or is swimming a better option ? I don't want to quit/do anything half-heartedly and then quit. Any help would be appreciated.

"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.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
look into 5x5 programs. strength is the best way to start out lifting, endless bicep curls will infact NOT give you large biceps. heavy pulling will though. do some research, stay away from bodybuilding.com and welcome to the journey.
 

"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.

If your looking to build strength as well as muscle I would look into a "5x5" program like others mentioned. Theres a few of them out there... I went with Reg Parks program because that is the one Arnold Schwarzenegger followed as a beginner.

Heres a link: http://www.seriouspowerlifting.com/1738/articles/

The next key thing for you is going to be learning "Form" and technique when performing these lifts. Some people will say "X" exercise is bad for because, blah blah blah. Exercises can only turn out bad from going too heavy or using bad form.. Keep it simple and learn as you go.
