"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hi all,

I've been trying to pull my shoulders back and sit straight, but it seems to be almost like I'm using muscles to keep my shoulders back. And I end up tired. Is this normal?

Are there any techniques for improving this?

Thanks
Jason
 

"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.

Look up the Alexander technique (practiced and recommended by Neil Strauss aka 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.

Try circuit training workouts... this could simply just be a product of a weak frame.

or

Yoga (I know I know...) is known for producing excellent, firm, flexible, sturdy posture... (I deserve a check for the ad)...

Think confident, project confidence...

Do you practice Alexander Technique, or have you ever gone for a lesson?

If you have insurance and the money, go to a chiropractor. I was going for posture reasons and b/c my neck was toooo stretch forward like a dinosaur. Within the 4-6 months I was standing at a wonderful posture without putting any kind of effort into it. I was told I got taller but really my slumped shoulders were actually in the place they needed to be and I was standing str8 with my head up and not leaned forward.

I went to a chiro for one year. I fell back a lot though but that's b/c I haven't put into practice the things I learned to keep maintaince but it is well worth it in my opinion.

Lye on your back at your bed and at the edge, let your neck and head hang in the air for 5 minutes. 2x daily everyday. When I was going to a chiro I had weights that started at 2lbs and increased very, very slowly until I was at 10lbs. Never use more than 10lbs if you have something to add weight.
