"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

How much sleep are you getting at night? You should aim for 8 hours. Sometimes it can really help to take a nap during the day though if you have time. If you still go to the gym, make sure you eat at least an hour before, otherwise you won't have much energy for lifting and you increase the chances of losing muscle!

I almost always get 8 hours of sleep but it never seems to be enough.................... and when i nap sometimes i'll "nap" for up to 2 hours and 30 minutes. usually though its about an hour and 15 min.

I do take in carbs and it doesnt work....... seems as if once i get comfortable, im as good as asleep.
 

"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.

Uh, yeah... you lift weights on an empty stomach and you can lose muscle. Its actually easier for your body to catabolize muscle rather than fat.

Damn dude, 8 hours a night and you still take 2 hour naps? Wow! I have the opposite problem. Yeah maybe a cold shower would work for ya.

how old are you. teenagers sleep cycles are kinda screwed up because of school and everything. stuff like them supposed to be sleeping till 8 but having to be at school at 730. ive been waking up at the same time nine months out of the year for four years so im pretty used to it. try sleeping a litle more at nigiht, and a little less. and see if that helps

it's a good idea to do exercise after sleep. 90% of HGH is excreted while you sleep. So it's a good idea gym early in the morning, although your pain tolerance may be lower. Personally I don't like gym in the morning, as I can't stress myself as much as I can in the afternoon/early evening. But you need enough sleep, that's m,ore important than actual gym

i do eat turkey i would say a good amount ever 2 weeks. Plenty of skim milk. Usually whole wheat bread. I also usually eat ALOT before i sleep. I have to be IN school by 7:10, that means i have to wake up about an hour before that. Im never about to wake up early enough. On a good night i'll sleep at 10pm, Usually i sleep at 11pm.
