"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.

You'll get more replies if you list it in pounds and feet.

Also, what does being Asian have to do with it?

Asians are in general, quite a skinny race, very slight builds.

I guess if he meets the standards of Asians (whatever that may be), it's ok then? I say forget the standards, go for what you want to look like. But I still don't get it though. If you are skinny, you will look skinny. Doesn't matter what race you are.

No, that isn't skinny, per say.
Asians in general are of a slighter build.

"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.

Thats skinny for anybody, however I don't see where this "rating" comes into play. I'm 5'9 - 150 and I consider myself very skinny...

On paper it certainly sounds "thin." However, it's hard to say really without a visual. I'm 18 lbs heavier and 2 inches shorter than you and I consider myself "thin" - it's all in the mind's eye.

If at 5'8 your measurements are less than

Bicep Flexed - 13"
Thighs 22"
Calves 15"
Waist 30"
Chest 38"


If you're less than that, then you're quite thin. I'm around those #s in pretty much everything, whether its a tad over or under. I feel as if I'm skinny as f*ck.

"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.

Are you incredibly buff?

Are you fat?

If not, you're skinny.

You may not be anorexically skinny, but you're skinny.
