"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.

What sports are you guys going to be watching? (if you are in North America like myself it is going to be frustrating due to the time differential which will result in watching alot of re-runs).

The following sports I want to see: swimming, basketball, anything to do with athletics such as track events (100 m race etc) or field events (long jump).

On occassions I will catch some women gymnastics....:D you are all pervs like me so don't deny it and say you don't think the same when you see a woman doing the splits or bend like a pretzel.

"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.

Everything. I'm hoping for the US b-ball team to get upset, Phelps to lose big, and the Canadian athletes to kick ass :D
 

"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.

Hahaha, I too, will be looking forward to female artistic gymnastics....because I am amazed by all the tumbling and flipping they can do!

Also, female beach volleyball (Misty May's ass is whoa!), and diving (into the pool, not in soccer/"futebol")

Competitively, I hope to watch tennis (both mens and womens) and basketball, as I normally follow those sports on a more regular basis.

i'll probably just watch swimming.
sepcifically brendan hansen in the 100 brst
kitajima in the 200 brst.
also, see if lochte can beat phelps in the 200 or 400 im.
ian crocker and michael phelps will have a showdown in the 100 fly.
i doubt anyone will get close to phelps in the 200 fly.
also, we're supposed to have really tough competition in the 4X100 free relay from france.
oh, and women can't swim :)

I'm going to be watching China attempt to treat free foreigners as it treats its own people and laugh at them as their coming out party is ruined by their own brutality.

Basketball and track & field mainly. I'm not much of a fan of the Olympic's coverage on NBC where in 2004 and the winter Olympics in 2006 they spend hours talking about random stuff about the host country. It's all well and good, but I'm trying to watch sports at the moment, not get a history lesson.

And hopefully we're not going to lose in men's basketball to Greece again...ok, France or Argentina would be understandable. Greece? Are you kidding me?
 

"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.

Just basketball and probably whatever is on at 4 in the morning because I usually come home at that time and watch TV for a bit (I'll probably be coming home earlier because I hear the Team USA games will be around 2). It's going to be interesting how Team USA bounces back after being humiliated by Greece in the FIBA games, although I hope Bill Walton is nowhere near a microphone. I basically knew the entire history and geography of every country that participated in that tournament because that's all he talked about.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

It was breathtaking, a masterpiece, and a work of art.

It really showed you the true beauty of china's culture and history. I especially liked Kung Fu, the drums and the fireworks. I'm glad I recorded it, I saw it all over again.

One of the best presentations I have ever seen!

Man, the opening ceremony was amazing! Stunningly beautiful and extremely well choreographed.
You should have seen it from my view, stoned out of my mind! It took me 30mins just to realise that it wasn't a computer generation. The giants footprint fireworks were amazing. The idiot commentators wrecked it by speaking over the beautiful performance.

I'm looking forward to the weightlifting, boxing, wrestling, sprinting and BMX!!!

oh and perving on the female athletes.

Norway beats Belgium in womens volleyball
Norway beats China in womens handball
Norway beats New Zeland in womens soccer

Norwegian male swimmer sets new olympic record in swimming (breaststroke - dont remember distance.)

Felt you needed to know that.
 

"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.
