"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

hey guys. gonna make this short..I don't know a whole lot about training other than some basics but here's my situation. I havent played ice hockey competitively since I was 18. I am 25 now and wanna get back in. Problem is, I am about 15 lbs overweight...Now I've seen alot of stuff on here but it seems mostly geard to "cutting up" and "bulking up". What are some steps to take? I need to regain my stamina, increase muslce strength and flexibility, and improve explosiveness. My upper body and legs really need work. Any suggestions, sites, etc? I searched T-mag but couldn't find anything helpful. And since I still have a few lbs to lose, I wonder if that complicates what I need to do. If you can't help, don't reply to this, if you've ever trained for a sport like this, let me know.
 

"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.

There are some great books at your library on training for hockey. I would also highly recommend you buy a pair of inline skates and use those for off-ice training.

make sure to get alot of rest. I read that Tampa Bay has the most off days of any team and they are the most fit.

That might be true, but I'm willing to bet that the intensity at which they train on their 'on' days is higher than that of most other teams... nothing in life is cheap.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

the reason tampa bay has so many off days is because they don't want dave andreychuk to get a heart attack from overworking, the guy is older then stonehenge.

Didnt Andreychuk retire since he finally won the cup? Not that it really matters I guess, the whole league is "retired" at the moment...
