"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"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.
was he really? so that ear eating was in retaliation, no kidding.
In a sense. Holyfield did what Holyfield always did, led with his head. However, Tyson headbutted too, and began their first fight by punching Holyfield after the bell. It was retaliation but not righteous retaliation.
I personally believe Tyson is somewhere "on the spectrum" and they (we?) tend to have a very low frustration tolerance. It actually explains a lot about him and I admire how he has done a 180 in life and seems to have found a secure place for himself.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I'll look that up.
You know what makes these guys look older?
It's that gristled, spotty looking grey and white stubble and short beards they like to grow.
Its untidy and old looking. Why not go with a fresh shaved face?
Or dye it. Even dye/bleach it all white. But a solid colour or smooth shave looks best.
Who told guys that gristly spotty black, white, grey look is preferable? Most guys look sickly with it. Like they're hiding goodlooks.

I shaved off all my facial hair once it started coming in mostly gray. Thought it made me look too old. Funny how the eyebrows stay dark.
I think salt and pepper can be a good look, especially if there's more dark hair. Sometimes a dark beard speckled with silver can look like it's glittering, if you know what I'm referring to.
I don't know but that's cool if you like it. You shaved anyways so you know what I'm talking about.
Why do eyebrows stay dark?
That was pretty thrilling that our man Tyson is in the same good shape. Man, the hours he must be putting in training. That was a hard shove he gave Jericho, lol

It's no wonder he's training so hard, if he knew he was going to have to go up against Le Champion lol.
"Le Champion" is Chris Jericho's current nickname, for the uninformed. He's also gone by other nicknames such as Y2J, and the Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah.
thanks, I don't know who that guy is yet.
WWF kind of guy, right?

It's funny how the beard tends to go gray long before the head hair. I still have a dirty blond/very light brown head of hair, but decades ago my beard turned gray. I wish I could grow a little bit of scruff but it does make me look older.
Why do you miss your scruff? You probably look better with it smoothfaced.
On Tyson, that was somewhat staged obviously, right? Tyson never used props like a ripping tshirt before, right?

Yeah, he was in the WWF until recently. But it's now called the WWE - they lost a lawsuit with the World Wildlife Fund.
I like to support AEW because it's a viable alternative to the WWE (which has dominated pro wrestling for years virtually unopposed).
Yes he did lol. He's no Hulk Hogan apparently.
Most polls say that women find a bit of scruff to be the most attractive look for males. Not every guy can pull it off, however.
Odd thing with polls though. Some polls say clean shaven is the least desirable look for a man (I guess the facial hair indicates testosterone). But I've seen at least one poll which placed clean shaven as the most desirable. So I'm not sure what to think, but I do know scruffy can cause some scratchy lip burn on some girls when you kiss. Especially my facial hair because it comes out like steel bristles. I could probably sandpaper with it.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Weight classes are there for a reason. Canelo is like 154lb
wooh, that's quite the difference.
His hits don't have that iron pamp! power either. I wonder how Tyson developed that, probably the leaping.

As their weight goes up so does the amount of muscle and power. Each of the larger guys hits will have a larger impact and his larger body can absorb more punishment.
