"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.

i'm 5'8, maybe 5'9 (i don't remember my height in inches, in centimetres is 175) and i'm less than 135 pounds... skinny as hell, you would think... i have very light bones, so i'm not a worryin' case, i just look a bit slim... in fact, many girls tell me that i should get some weight, in order to look very beautiful... anyway, the funny part comes now... a month ago i joined a new high school... the first gym's class, i came out of the changin' room with a tight tank top (you know, the elastic ones) and many girls complimented with me for my body and 4 guys plus the teacher (!) asked me if i do body buildin' (i swear, my shoulders and triceps stick out as hell)... that was very cool, 'cuz i've never hit a gym... here's my question: why can there be such a difference?! and, more important, how can i get rid of this difference?! i eat as much as i can, but i can't help but playin' sports all the time, so i don't bulk any... i don't really know what to do... i'd really want to look that awesome even wearin' a t-shirt with sleeves:-D
 

"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 don't play agonistically any sport (i just play soccer or basketball in the afternoons, with some friends)... i just used to do many pushups, but i thought that they would only improve my strength... well, i've been lucky:p
do u think that pushups (with big eating) would make me grow more?!

for me, i thought id start bulking during holidays , so i didnt have any gym stuff, i started off at 50kg's/110pounds (yes thats ****ing thin for 5'9), i ate more, and did push up's off the bed, and i gained 5kgs thats 55kgs(122 pounds) in 2 weeks !

now i have a gym i can go to, so now i can lift weights.

so bascily, pushups will only do a small ammount to start with, but then u have to lift weights to gain more

Steroids, or hard work.
