"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Latley I have been working out more and gaining more weight. However I went to purchase new jeans and I found out that my 34 inch waist I usually wore is now feeling too tight to wear and I had to settle for 36 inch one.

I heard that if you gain weight through muscle, your waist should not be affected, could I have been gaining fat instead?

I used to be a skinny guy by the way.
 

“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.

Your waist can gain size like any other area of your body. It could be muscle gain from squats and deadlifts, it could be water and fat gain too...most likely a combination. I know my waist has definately thickened over the years (nothing drastic) to help my body support itself during squats and deads.

This is telling. Unless you are eating a ton, then it's most likely muscle. I've never seen a skinny guy with a 34 inch waist, though; 36s are very loose on me (34s would be right but I'm not getting new jeans before I'm done cutting), and I weigh 217 lbs (at six feet tall)

Bigger obliques (muscles on the side of your torso) will increase your waist size.

building abdominal muscles will increase your waist size too, because the muscles are bulkier and firmer.
 

"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.
