"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 read Pook's article about how gaining weight and adding size is beneficial.

I started working out last month and I used to weigh 103 pounds, now I weigh 106 pounds. Is 3 pound gain normal in 1 month? (I'm 16)

And I am only 5 foot 6 inches. A lot of people say being short is a huge disadvantage... I think I am relatively short for my age group and I heard most guys don't grow much after 16?

I am thinking even if I am extremly muscular, I still would not be considered "physically attractive" because I am short!

Pook weighs over 200lb and looks great because he is over 6 foot. It'd be weird if I weigh over 200lb with my height...

So what's the ideal weight for my height for someone looking to become ripped?

Any tips for me?
 

"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.

3 pounds gain is small for one month. I can gain 3 pounds in a week. Even though you are short, you will continue to grow into your 20s, and if you are a late bloomer, this will definetly be the case. A guy your height should weigh about 150-170lbs. So get lifting. When you look jacked, this will make you seem taller and more physically imposing than you actually are.

You're 106lbs. There is no way you can get over 200lbs unless you take steroids or turn into a fat lard ass.

Stop stressing about it.

Eat more. You're 16 and still growing. All your energy is going to your metabolism to grow vertically.

Yeah, well since I am drinking 6 pints of milk a day, along with my a diet that means I eat alot, it's no surprise that some weeks I rocket up by 3 lbs or more. Most I have ever gone up in a week is 6lbs.

Ofcourse this has to be coupled with a good routine like stronglifts 5x5, otherwise it will just all be fat.

That's pretty absurdly skinny. I'm 5'7" and I weight 125 and people tell me that I'm a stick. I can't imagine weighing 103.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
