neanderthals: both genders
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"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.

More advanced than a neanderthal. More like the "Predator" or "Terminator".
ugh
I'll rewatch Predator after unpacking. I want to watch Terminator again. I saw that modern one a couple months ago. Different flavour, different......mostly I wanted to see Linda Ha milton's comeback as a fit older chic. Wasn't disappointed.

Tyson was basically talking about how he saw Brad Pitt dating Robin Givens, it was after they were already divorced but still.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
oh. What did either one see in her?

Tyson was a kid. Like 20 yrs old so he didn't know any better.

She literally seduced him then.
aww, yeah, that movie described him as shy and awkward but highly sexed as a teen around girls.

She stole him and mothered him.
"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.

Shannon the cannon is still out there at 48 or 49. If he gets in shape he will dominate many in that age group. Its about power, technique, speed and control.

That's a hell of a disrespect that he could only dominate Alan from the hangover.

I'm a huge boxing fan and am very knowledgeable on the fight game of 1970's-1990's, and some recent too.
A few thoughts:
Hitting the pads and a short video clip is a lot different than training for a 10 or 12 round fight. At BEST, maybe, just maybe, Tyson could be on an undercard and fight a few 4 or 6 round fights with club-level boxers like Eric "Butterbean" Esch did in most of his fights, though Esch did have a fight vs Larry Holmes and a few good boxers. Put Mike Tyson in there with Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder and he'd get hurt bad. Father Time is undefeated.
When I first saw this story I was intrigued and then a few days later Holyfield said he was going to do a few exhibition fights for charity. So why not have Tyson (54) vs Holyfield (57) III with a few modifications:
- 6 round fight
- both wear headgear
- 2 minutes between rounds
- 14 or 16 oz. gloves
- Sport celebrity judges: Brett Favre, Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan
- Money raised goes to COVID-19 relief or George Floyd Foundation or something else that's relevant right now.
I'd absolutely buy/watch it.

Tyson with 6 months of conditioning and sparring CAN fight some of the less seasoned pros. And he will be in great shape. His boxing style is dominant and will cause issues.

So i run a 4.25 40, 425lb bench, 42" verticle and im 47, 220lb. Solid muscle im not gonna be able to ball with less physically dominant and slower younger cats?
"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.
Congrats mr gs, keep up the good work.
You can do anything you set your mind to do.(say this to my own brother too)

I cant do that 40 or verticle. I was making an example. Athleticism and skill has to do with your performance characteristics not age. Yes they normally do drop with age. But for example Darrell Greene ran a 4.42 40 yd for his 50th birthday with no training. Thats still NFL speed. Tyson being put into great physical condition will be a problem for less seasoned pros and he will smoke amateurs.
I'm not too sure what feat you refer to with 42" vertical. What's that exercise?
Since studying Tyson recently I agree he is more than capable of smoking even seasoned pros. Not popular with other boxing fans with more spectator experience but its my belief you never lose those skills(performance characteristics).
mrgoodstuff
Master Don Juan
The skills will be there. He has to get to world class conditioning.
Vertical is how high an athelete can jump from a stand still. 36" and up us great. 40" and up is superb.
Oh yes, watched a bit of Chris Barnard doing that on youtube. Great for layups in basketball...to develop that.
Saw him go from sitting to bounce right up in front of him on gym boxes.
Cool you can do that too.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
