"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.

For the past week or so my bicep has been giving me pain. Last night I did squats and my bicep is still hurting 18 hours later (keep in mind all I did was hold the bar steady on my back). It has gotten to the point that it hurts when I flex or squeeze the muscle. What's the damn deal?

It may stem from the fact that I haven't been curling as much, but have stuck to my regular tricep workout intensity. Has this happened to any of you? If so, how did you treat it and how long did it take to heal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

"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.

You probably just pulled/strained the muscle from the position it was in holding the bar. May take a week or two to recover. Go easy on it until it feels better!
