"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.

I am trying to avoid any form of aerobic exercise as I try and gain weight and weightlift.

Quick one- Will swimming on a regular basis help me tone up or make me lose weight which I don't want?

Cheers.
 

"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.

Swimming - more or less like running do help you lose weight.
It's a great exercise either way though.

You might want to battle that by eating more cals.

Well swimming is one of the best cardio exercises...
My opinion is that you should focus on bulking up as much as you can, then, cut with swimming! a member once told me that it is even a good thing to do cardio while bulking up so... :S

Resistance & sufficient protein is the proper way to bulk and incremental resistance doesn't have to be limited to weightlifting..

But, thinking about resistance: You can't exactly add progressively more molasses to the pool so it gets harder to swim in, but you could just swim faster, or HIIT-style.
