"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.

A former boxing champion is being charged for sexual assault.


According to the complaint, “thrust himself on to [the victim], pinned her beneath his body, and began kissing her.” The victim said she struggled to free herself but was unable to push him off of her as he stuck his tongue down her throat, kissed her neck and body, and continued pressing himself on her.

He made a move and it cost him more than $830,000 US. Perhaps the court failed to see the circumstances behind the situation?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

If you follow boxing, this guy is an a-hole. So no sympathy from me, and I totally could see him doing this to a woman against her will.

Glad he must pay out in cases like this! However, more verbal cases with payouts like Bill Orielly for example is over the top! I'd take millions to be verbally sexually harassed. Howard Stern even joked about this as well.

It's pretty much impossible to stick your tongue down someone's throat, yet I hear that phrase all the time. Sounds like rape fanfic and honestly should be inappropriate to include in a formal complaint as it's obviously a lie.

Perhaps he is just an idiot who doesn't take no for an answer?

Boxers were getting CTE long before it was discovered in football players. One of the main symptoms is a lack of impulse control. In both football and fight sports, we cheer on dudes giving each other brain damage. But then when those damaged brains begin to operate poorly, we declare them to be immoral criminals.

Well the problem with that is anyone could go out take a few punches and claim they can now do whatever they want because they have no impulse control.

People need to be in control of themselves. If they choose to do something then they need to know the risks and rewards and all the potential issues they could have from it. If they choose to still do it then that's life and they have chosen to deal with the consequences. Its not like anyone in their right mind would think that being punched in the head repeatedly is good for you.
