"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It seems like Jake is picking on washed up fighters at this point. Why doesn't Jake move up the amateur rankings like a normal boxer. That is what you do in order to prove you are legit. Instead he cheery picks older guys. He lost to the one young guy he fought. This is so corny. Secondly why is Mike even taking this fight? Money??

Jake Paul owns the promotion and gets to pick the gloves the fighters wear. I didn't even know gloves came in 18 ounces.16 is the biggest I have used, and they are training gloves. It's like getting hit with a firm pillow. The point is to not injure your training partner. Actual fight gloves for boxing are 8 to 10 ounces, but that is misleading, because the weight is around the wrist. It's mostly just a sheet of leather over the knuckles with much less padding than mma gloves. The knuckle protection in boxing comes from guaze and tape on the hands underneath the gloves.

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

So you are saying he is not really trying to hurt Mike.

Lol huh i dont understand.
When people get old they yearn for their earlier "glory days."

Athletes when they are young get tons of admiration and respect. It's hard to handle life without that.

My point is that Tyson likes the idea of getting back into the ring enough so he's willing to this.

This is going to be a clown fight anyway. They're using 18oz gloves and headguards.

Oh okay makes sense.
 

"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.

Inside her mind
Is Mike broke? I remember as a little kid, I loved Tyson still do, but I have a bad feeling about this, this to me seems staged and that Tyson may have taken a payday just to take a "Fall" THis guy should be on a beach having some lemonade not fighting

I've seen Tyson recently on some shows where he does some fake sparring against air...

That dude still has hands that are quick and violent as fvck.

That level of violence is something that very few people ever have or ever will have used against them.

If Paul gets hit with one of those he may not wake up until the following week.

I'd want Tyson too, but since he couldn't knock out Jones; it's possible Paulie boy will win. After all, he's being paid by Paulie's company.
 

"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.
