"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.

Here is a suggestion to doing arm curls more consistently.

A while back I bought a set of hand dumbbells but found my use rather spotty. They say you should put lifting / exercise into your daily routine. Recently I put one of the dumbbells under the computer desk. Now when I sit down to use the internet, I can reach down and pull a few curls while things upload.
 

"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.

Good idea to add some new exercises to your web surfing routine besides the normal jerk and cleans.

Jerk and clean...

BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funniest thing I've heard all day.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"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.

Should you curl every day?

NO... unless you wanna wake up the next morning with your arms frozen in the postion you fell asleep in. Its quite exilliarating to stretch a torn muscle out little by little. Do tricep curls the opposit days. Put the dumbell over you head (I usually cup one half of it in both my hands and hang it behind my head) and lift horizontally.

Um... yeah, I know all about the exercise known as the clean and jerk. Clean and jerk = lift. Jerk and clean = wank. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been particularly funny, now, would it?
