"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.

There are actually benefits. I think I've read a bit about it. Go to google and type it "sauna muscle benefits".

I don't know anything about the benefits of a sauna, but you sweat like a bankok wh0re when you're in them, so make sure to re-hydrate.

the warmth increases blood flow and thus enhances recovery, however hot and cold showers achieve the same thing more effectively.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Are you referring to a sauna which produces wet heat (steam) or dry heat? I've tried both, and feel as though the steamroom opens up my lungs and skin, making my shower that much better later. The dry heat sauna leaves me feeling nothing but sweaty. However, for relaxation after working out I like the hot tub.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

WBA--can you elaborate on hot & cold showers for recovery? (I'm interested more in the mechanics than in the justification--I can understand how they might benefit recovery, but I'm curious about timing, etc.)

Sitting in a hot, steamy room with a bunch of half-naked men? If you're homosexual there are plenty of benefits - else get the heck out of the gym right after your workout as there's a large meal at home that requires your immediate attention.

Leave the sauna to the weenies.

I've read that the best benefits come around 3 hours or so after you lift. I might just look this stuff up and type me a nice little article sometime soon.

oh for ****s sake..

going in a sauna does not make you gay

gay is when you have sexual interest in other men. If you have no sexual interest in other men (including half-naked ones in a sauna with you), then you are, by definition, NOT GAY.

I rest my case.

It seems your mind is on the men in the sauna and not on the relaxation that you yourself get from it. I wonder why you even signed up for a gym that has a sauna? Perhaps so that you could peek at the half-naked men in the sauna to please your heterosexual curiosities? The big joke is that you act like you've never seen another man naked before. We all get changed in the same locker-room and people in the locker-room are completely naked when they get changed, take a shower, etc. You got major insecurities.
