"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.

"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.

I've never heard of Handball until they showed it after the Lithuania and Argentina game. It was pretty entertaining to watch.
3countriesPlan said:I'm in Taiwan. I will be watching the Taiwan Baseball team AKA Chinese Taipei and also the US Basketball team games. I don't think there is any time delay
I couldn't give a rat's ass for any super-dull olympic rubbish except my gf is Taiwanese and I want their baseball team to kick ass.
And Chinese Taipei my arse! They are Taiwanese and that's how they should be referred to.

Oooooooh. Good relay there.
Biggest come-from-behind win ever in an Olympic swimming relay race.
Record breaking relay time - and it slaughtered the old record to an unheard of degree.
Micheal Phelps may need to break a world record in each of the next six events to satisfy his goal to make it to 8 gold medals - and to make his place as one of the greatest athletes of all time.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Oh man the Chinese made the mistake the other day of referring to the Taiwanese team as China- Taipei instead of Chinese-Taipei..Nighthawk said:
The first game against Holland should be winnable. It's a pretty strong team.
"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.

Hmm..
I'll start off by saying I respect swimming and most of its competitors.
But, I have a problem with the Swimming events.. For most sports, there are only 3 medals that are all hardfought, take Tennis for instance, it takes almost two weeks to hand out 1 single gold medal. On the other hand, you have swimming where medals seem to be handed out like hotcakes on a daily basis, with some olympians winning upwards of 3-4 medals.
Here's a list of swimming events in which medals are distributed(this is only half, lets not forget the womens events):
Men's 400m Individual Medley Final
Men's 400m Freestyle Final
Men's 100m Breaststroke Final
Men's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Final
Men's 200m Freestyle Final
Men's 100m Backstroke Final
Men's 200m Butterfly Final
Men's 4 x 200m Freestyle Relay Final
Men's 200m Breaststroke Final
Men's 100m Freestyle Final
Men's 200m Backstroke Final
Men's 200m Individual Medley Final
Men's 100m Butterfly Final
Men's 50m Freestyle Final
Men's 1500m Freestyle Final
Men's 4 x 100m Medley Relay Final
Men's 10km Marathon Swimming Final
That's 17 different medals, when--in my mind--there should only be 3 or 4.
One for short distance (speed). Eg: 50m freestyle
One for long distance (endurance). Eg: 10km marathon
One relay event (team work). Eg. 4x200 freestyle relay
You might even fit another mid-distance one in there.

It's just baffling that whenever I have time to flip on the TV to watch olympics, it's always swimming swimming swimming swimming followed by more swimming. And unless one has a detailed education of the sport and is a swimming enthusiast, most people don't know or care for the subtle differences in swimming strokes(eg. freestyle-breaststroke-medley, etc). Swimming should be fastest possible way from point A to point B.
Let's see some different sports that promote different skill development and more exciting television programming!!!

I like swimming but it makes stuff like this happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcb3YeZDmp0Quiksilver said:
The other two got disqualified for a false start so while he's swimming by himself and the crowd chants like crazy which makes the announcers crack up.
I agree, and I wonder if there is some sort of movement out there to clean up the clutter.Quiksilver said:
Track is the same way when you think about it. 100, 200, 400, 800, and I think 1500m races, repeated with hurdles, repeated with high hurdles. Instead of throwing, it's throwing balls, throwing disks, throwing javelins, and throwing ball and chains. Combined into various medleys for heptathalon and decathalon medals.
Given the hoopla around the Olympics, gold medals should be more like Academy Awards or World Cups. As they are, they kind of feel like conference championships or Continental Tire Bowl victories.
The olympics is however the only chance that swimmers get to make a name for themselves. Tennis players get paid millions of dollars throughout the year at other tournaments, no one gives a sh1t about any of the other big swimming meets. Winning gold at the olympics is not as big a deal as winning a grand slam tournament for tennis players. It is however the highest achievement in swimming.Quiksilver said:

I'm gonna be watching basketball, swimming and track. Track should be a lot of fun because a guy I knew from high school is running in the 400-meter relay for the United States.

Is it just me, or is the chinese REALLY hauling ass this year? Cuz they're really packing those medals...
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
