"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

My left side(shoulder, arm, upper back) is noticeably smaller than my right side. I also had a chiropractic exam on thursday and the doc said I have an overdominance on my right side and its causing my spine to lean out to the right a bit.

How do I go about strengthening my left side effectively?

My idea:

1) Do an extra few reps of each exercise(DB shoulder press, curls, rows) with my left.

2) Also, I've started training in tennis with my left hand as well. I know that sounds crazy, but its excellent training to be proficient with both sides.

It's not that it isn't as strong, like I push/pull the same weights with both arms, its just noticeably(not huge difference, but noticeable) smaller, and the doc noticed it too, so...

Anybody with experience at balancing out a physique would be welcome.
 

"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.

yeah my right lat. is noticeably larger than my left.. How do I grow it at a slightly faster rate than the right?

Just tack an extra rep or two onto Rows for left side, or...?

I'm left handed by my right side has more size.

Larger quads
Larger biceps/triceps

Those are the only two things really...

I'm right handed, and while my right started out the strongest, my left shoulder and chest have become stronger than my right, though my right arm is much stronger (no jokes boys).

I've started doing curls beginning with left (weakest) arm, and when that fails not doing anymore on right. And likewise for other exercises, but dunno... seems to not work so much for chest, where I'm pretty much usually doing a 5RM so pushing with everything...

"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.

in my experience it will balance in time (once it's fully developed), or if its some particular dysmorphia then it probably never will, but no-one's gonna notice. don't sweat it.

Watch out for those chiropractors. They will tell you amazing things. I would consider getting multiple opinions, preferrably some from other types of doctors. This is coming from experience.

To balance out--

Train all your one sided exercises left side first, and only do as many reps with your right side as you can with your left. Your right side will slow down, but it'll be worth it for your left side to catch up.

couldn't you just put in more of an effort conciously towards your left when your doing the weights that use both arms?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
