"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.

Attractive Charissa Thompson Getting Divorced for 2nd Time at Age 40 & is Childless

"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.

She's on the slide. That said, when I think of harridan, I think of this 48 year-old.

Charissa Thompson looks like nothing like this woman. Charissa Thompson has a younger, rich boyfriend, who is both younger and richer than her ex-husband. Her ex-husband was a fit, rich guy as an ex-college athlete turned sports agent with a law degree.She's on the slide. That said, when I think of harridan, I think of this 48 year-old.
View attachment 10124My mortifying moment at the Christmas party and why it's hell to be 48, alone and desperate
The Christmas party was in full swing. Brandishing a branch of mistletoe, I danced across the room and locked eyes with the stranger in the corner...www.dailymail.co.uk
"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.

See the linked video from 2013 in my quote. Both Erin and Charissa have gone downhill since then. They were 31 and 35 when that video was made. Now 41 and 45.
Yeah, they were two classic blond bombshells back then but that doesn’t last forever. Charissa is on the divorce cycle while Erin is trying to cheat fertility by unfreezing her eggs. Best of luck ladies

They both peaked somewhere on looks in the 2000s. Arguably, Charissa's peak was finished before she joined ESPN in 2010 before moving to Fox Sports in 2013. The Erin Andrew stalker peephole incident was in 2008 when she was 30 and that was the tail end of her prime, though the video did not make it on to the internet until 2009. They've both managed to live off their looks peak 10+ years beyond their looks peak. Both of their jobs are looks-oriented jobs.
Charissa has had 2 short marriages. One was in the late 2000s and the 2nd was in 2021-2022. In between those marriages, Charissa did acknowledge that she was not well suited to marriage. Charissa's 2nd marriage was a pandemic lockdown overreaction.
Erin has a bit of a cleat and status chaser. She had cervical cancer in 2016 at age 38, likely caused by HPV from her carousel riding. Erin is 45 now and not pregnant. The IVF window has closed. If she really wanted kids, adopting kids with her husband 5-8 years ago would have been the easier path to get to kids. Erin's marriage has lasted to this point but longevity is not an indicator of quality.
There were 2 IVF pregnancies in my social circle from women in their mid-30s. Both of these women made big and bold social media pronouncements about their IVF struggles when they got pregnant.

So the only logical conclusion is that despite their financial success, something's got to be very messed up with them. I can't imagine a rational, authentic man looking into the eyes of a twice divorced (that's on top of her other relationships) woman and believing anything love related she says.

She's spent her late 30s and early 40s in relationships with top tier men. Her current boyfriend is extremely rich whereas her last husband who she started dating at 36/37 was 6'0"+ ex-college athlete and sports agent with a law degree.
The Wall has not hit Charissa Thompson at 41.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Thompson said she already had an issue with security, noting that she had been stalked at her old house, and she has been hacked in the past.

There are some demand out there for Charissa's vag. She has a rich, younger boyfriend at 41.

Do you not get out much? Live at your computers in a weird echo chamber? Is it a way to assuage your ego?
Because they are getting hit on by guys younger and more attractive than you all incessantly.

There is demand for 40 year old women out there.
Charissa Thompson would be considered a top 40-41 year old woman. She is famous and all the beta males would like that she has some level of spectator sports knowledge.
There are 40 year old women whose looks are similar to Charissa's and are childless like Charissa. If they put themselves out on dating apps or are active on Instagram, they have more options than most men can imagine.
A 40 year old childless woman who isn't overweight and isn't on the swipe apps will have fewer options. Her options will depend upon her social circle and how often she goes out into the real world. She'll still have solid demand for her vag though.
"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 like being in a relationship. I hate dating." - Charissa Thompson
Charissa Thompson is a middle aged 304.
In other news, Charissa's BFF Erin Andrews became a first time mom at age 45 a few weeks ago due to surrogacy.

Why Marriage Is Not For Everyone | Calm Down Podcast #shorts
Charissa got married twice with the expectation that she would mimic her parents' track record of longevity in a marriage. Right now, Charissa is 41 and her parents have been married 45 years (likely in the same relationships for 47-48 years).
A lot of people get married because their parents had a successful marriage and that's their expectation. The problem is that these parents all married in a different era with different societal expectations. The last sentence was more true for Baby Boomers and most Gen X'ers as compared to the tail end of Gen X'ers and Millennials.
Charissa's parents married in the late 1970s, a time of transition. Plenty of people who married in the late 1970s got divorced, usually by 2005 at the latest.

Incorrect. Her primary employer is Fox Sports. She has been working at Fox Sports since 2013, though she did work at ESPN from 2010-2013.
She was also working at the Big Ten Network and at Fox Sports prior to ESPN.
Men having been lining up for her since the 2000s.

Sports is sports, even ugly chicks on the side lines are gonna get some, just gotta wait down river, something gonna come her way.
