"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.

After pretty much all summer of working out, dieting, and discipline... I have a six-pack.

I lost around 40 lbs of fat with the help of whey protein, hydroxycut, NOXCG3 and sport multivitam(not taken during the same periods).

Now I was just at the gym tonight and had my shirt off and soem guy was asking my i got such a ripped six-pack.

I'm turning 20 next month and finally feel like a man, that's ready to conquer.

20's are the prime of your life, and I intend to make the most out of them.
 

"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.

"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.

I got rid of my 6-pack for the first time in my life a few weeks ago. I've been able to now that schools done and i'm not doing grappling. However is it comming back ever since I put heavy ab work into my routine.

Hold that weight for three or four months before you gain some more muscle. Or you'll gain back alot of fat. Also, bulk slowly. Former fat people have to do this to not gain back alot of fat quckly.

In the mean time, you can do some powerlifting. It's a nice change when you come from a bodybuildng standpoint. But I warn you, once you go power you never go back ;)

Nope. 30s. You can get women in their 20s,30s,and 40s.
 

"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.
