"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.

"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.

Sounds good, but don't rely on "ideal weight." It's complete BS. According to it, I'm almost obese, and so are some guys at my gym who are super-cut.

Less than that... for 5'10 it's 156lbs... I'd guess under 150
The BMI chart is ****ed up for anyone that lifts weights. Here's a link to it:

"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.

I am an ectomorph too, and although I work out religiously, I see no need for worrying about getting stocky. I would need to weigh at least 185 to look bulky, in my opinion. I'm 5'8.5" right now, and am shooting for 165-170.

I'm not sure about what the ideal weight fo ryou would be. When I did my medical, I was 143lbs, which I was told was good for someone my height. So if you are around 140 I guess that should be ok.

I would say probably somewhere between 150 and 180, but I am the same height and look good at 200 lbs because I am broad and muscular. I want to get down to about 185 or do for bodyfat reasons, but I am fine at this weight. Some football players at this height weigh 220 lbs...so it really depends on the amount of muscle you are carrying...
