"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.

Just a quick question. Will smoking in some way impede one's bulking/cutting plans?
 

"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.

Depends on how much you eat. Smoking is an appetite suppresant I believe.

Smoking will shorten your breath. Since you'll be bulking you'll most likely not be doing cardio.

Since you won't be doing cardio, and thus not being in "perfect" shape (as far as your lungs go), and you'll be smoking...

the second you have to give a long run for some reason you'll be fvcked.

And for cutting, you won't be able to run/jump/swim as much.

Of course this is about frequent smokers.

I never really knew that much about the dangers of smoking. (Didn't listen to my mom's speeches.)

So casual smoking (like say, half a dozen a week or so) won't really hurt that much, aye?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Half a dozen a week isn't that bad...but then it'll turn into 7-9 per week, then it'll be 12 a week. I'd recommend quitting smoking first before you do any type of exercise. Besides, smoking is bad for your health and many girls don't like it.

The only problem with smoking is addiction.

Quit while you're ahead or you'll find yourself smelling like smoke all the time and spending money you could be spending on someting else.

If your still social smoking... don't go for like 3 a night or something, it really ****s you up...

My performence during cardio (running) decreased a little today because of that. So i'ma quit.
