"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.

1) How do you train chest muscles? I know for abs you do sit ups, for arm you do the normal push ups and weight lifting etc. But chest muscles? Beats me.

2) Should i shave my megs? I am an asian and for asian standards i have very hairy legs and thighs. Usually the underwear models in the pictures, you see them have smooth and hairless legs, so it means woman find them sexy ya. But isn't hair kinda a mascline image for man with a large ammount of horomones. Should i shave them clean or not?
 

"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.

don't shave the legs.

Chest = dips, incline bench, decline bench, flyes, cable press, DB bench, flat bench, pushups... there's a lot of stuff

you know, i started out reading "Ultimate Bodybuilding" by Joe Weider, and I worked off of that. now, more recently, i've read tons more material, and i realized something:
i've heard all this before.
looking back, joe weider laid out a lot of general bodybuilding and weightlifting information 16 years ago that hasn't been improved upon much.

so, i'd suggest you try to score a copy of that book. i got an extra copy from amazon.com recently for about 6 or 7 bucks.

whatever you want to train, it will tell you how.
