"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.

Three things I do every morning


1. Grounding/meditation
2. Prayer/ meditate on Jesus

3. Then Yoga/basic stretching/core stretching.


Doing those three things, give me a blissful morning.

I also make it a priority to stretch 2-3 times a day. And when Im working out, before and after my workout.


Been staying consistent these past few weeks. Shed a few pounds.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I've been doing daily yoga stretches in the morning. I'm a beginner so it's been a challenge. But my joints/muscles feel better and my weightlifting has improved. So has my mood. Wish I were as flexible as the instructor on YouTube but I'm sure I'll get there...

Lol just try to remember all the stretches you know from PE, high school athletics or whatever and incorporate that in your workout

Of course, I still do proper stretching before lifting. The yoga is additional but it's helped a lot more than I expected.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I've been enrolled in Saturday classes on mobility and flexibility, including yoga (just an introduction to some asanas). We practiced headstands for beginners just last week, and last, last week we learned simple stretching of lower extremities with a partner.

There's this move as part of an asana: from a push-up, exhale & move slowly downward and flat, inhale & transition to cobra stretch, exhale and raise legs and hips to the downward dog, then stay at downward dog for 5 deep breaths. The end here feels so good for the calves and hamstrings.

This all is good but again I feel sluggish after finishing all my work. I don't even like to do heavy work in the early morning.

I take a mix of aminos, vitamins and coffee, and then I typically workout and sit sauna, and that’s usually a great way for me to feel clear, energetic and optimistic. The aminos have been a game changer for me.

Are they BCAA’s or what type of aminos are they?

Nice, but again you could do it if you have lots of time. I am unable to focus on many activities with my busy schedule, but again I do some light workout and it has proven quite good results.
 

"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.
