"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.

Here's a simple yet effective tip for some of you lazy guys out there.

You all know you SHOULD be exercising but sometimes you just don't feel like it...I know that feeling...this is NOT good at all. So when you feel like this, immediately take off your shirt (and pants if you need to) and take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Are you completely satisfied with your body as it is? If not, then use your image as motivation. If you are COMPLETELY satisfied...quit lying to yourself and exercise.

Try it. It helps.
 

"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'm going to give this a try. I've been having trouble finding the motivation lately.

I used to, and still do, coordinate it with a favorite TV show. I work out at home, so when Friends comes on, I throw on a pair of shorts, break out my 25 pound dumbells (cause I don't have a pullup bar in front of the TV) and go to down for the duration of the show. On average it ends up being about 200 - 260 pushups (in sets of 20 or 25), 300 or so crunches (in sets of 30) and about 100 - 150 curls (in sets of 10 - 15). But I'm not going for bulk.

Try coordinating it with something that you enjoy. A good CD that you listen to while working out, a good show, maybe look at it as a way to 'work up your appetite' before dinner (since the best time to eat is directly after working out cause your body processes it most efficiently), etc. That way it isn't JUST working out, but it's a combo thing.

I tried this yesterday and it worked. I've been slacking for the past couple of months and it shows.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

The poblem with the mirror method is when you DO start to become satisfied. Then you look in the mirror and say, "You know, I look pretty good. I can skip the workout today." And you do. And it catches up. When all that time you should have been working out anyway in order to at least MAINTAIN that shape.

hah, i need motivation before meals. Meals are my workout.

For me, lifting weights is kinda fun. But ive never been an eater. My mom use to force me to eat when iwas young (shed literally force the food into my mouth with her hands).

I kind of like the other tips in this thread (TV, music, "Rocky" music), but for me, it's hard to exercise when I'm enjoying myself. It doesn't help my concentration when I'm smiling...

What works for me is writing down the day before what i will be doing on my next training day. sets and reps and exercises.

Like a checklist ,then u can work your way thru it on the day.

You'll find u work out harder and do more too if you preplan 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.
