"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.

Hey All, Im a freshman in college and i worked out all summer to lose weight, and now im alot closer to my goal, but now i dont just wanna lose fat, i want to turn the stores i have left into muscle, I like the shape of my body right now, but i want it to be harder, so im looking for the right combination of exercise and diet to get me cut, not bulked. Any suggestions?
 

"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.

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.

also, Red meat, it is one of the best sources of protein out there, or so the myth goes, but its also very high in saturated fat, and when youre tryin to get cut, thats a very bad thing, so should it be a part of my diet?
