"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.

"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.

In any Intro Kinetics class in college, they say not to bend the elbow past 90 degrees. that what they told me anyways. it was something about stretching the muscled while the elbows are too far back can cause injury or soemthing like that.

Yeah sorry I made a mistake. Don't think I was paying attention when I said that.
Anyhow, doing a lot of pushups doesn't necessarily make you cut. Doing that would be considered spot reducing and spot reducing is a myth. You'll build some strength and endurance, but if you got fat arms, doing push ups won't help. It's all about your diet and hypertrophing your muscles to show which causes you to look more lean and cut.
"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 can do 50 push ups at once but I would rather bench press and deadlift because they both help Your arms. One helps the chest and other the legs and back muscles I think
Hit the gym guys its better

Take your time. If you can do 100 a minute... slow down a little. Move as SLOWLY as you CAN. You'll see that those 100 pushups will be a million times more torturous.
And this also builds muscle much better.
Read that in a US Navy SEAL training handbook.
Reminds me of when I was getting my ass beat over at my old college. A couple upperclassmen told us that they could 'break' us (term we used for when someone drops cause they're too weak to continue) in 10 pushups. We took the challenge. It took us about 10 minutes to do ten pushups. VERY slowly down, stop and hold while halfway down, get to the bottom, stop and hold JUST above the ground, slowly up, etc. etc.Originally posted by Keeper
A good tip on doing pushups:

I do them in sets of 20. But each pushup is about four seconds long. So now, I do them slowly. Not as many in a set, but hurts just as much (if not more)
Actually, ANY weight lifting is supposed to be done slow and controlled for maximum benefit, and lowest risk. So whenever you see some guy benching 300 by bouncing it off of his chest one or two times, you can be sure that you can bench 100 pounds less, slowly and controlled, and be better off in the end.
If you can't get a gym or use weights, working up to one handers is about the best thing you can do.
Elevate your feet. My fav is to rest my feet on a swiss ball.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
when i was like 13,14 yrs old i found them fvcking hard to do. now, they're pish easy and not very effective at all
