I turned on ESPN to see Midnight Lute absolutely blow past the competition on the final straight. Everyone else looked like they were movng backwards.
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.
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.

One horse race. Hystericalady . take it to the bank. nuff said
whoever makes these odds is on that good. I would not be suprised to see Hystericalady go off as the post time favoriate
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.
there is no way in hell you could have followed these to a "T" and lost 5 hundred dollars.backbreaker said:she figured. I can see how you went with that
you are mistaken me saying that they should win for me saying to BET on them. God no! Not at thoose odds. Although dream rush got interesting for a mintue. had she slipped to 5 to 1 I might have taken a stab
I have no opinions that strong that a tote board can't change them. If I woke up tomorow and lawyer ron was 20 to 1, i'd be a lawyer ron fan.
something else to keep in mind.. she's a 3YO going up against a 4YO. alotof peopel don't remember or realize that.
Also, Hyestericalady won in the slop, the true slop, not an off track, a HORID track at churchill and won in hand going away, she is going to be fine
I'm going to show exactly what my bets are going to be for tomorrow, just so you can see what I'm betting. I'm not going to put the amounts bet, but you get the picture
I'm still going over allmy bases, making sure I have dotted all my eyes and crossed my tess, because i have a hell of alot of money on hte line tomorrow, and I don't leave anything to chance.

Okay, let me somewhat explain what I"m doing.
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.
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.
I wish you would have kept up wti this thread.. I literarly gave out a 26 dollar winnerCeladus said:I lost but almost came out well with Hystericalady. I'm hooked though. I'm going to start paying attention and reading up on racing but I'm not going to be betting unless its a Triple Crown. No edge for laymans like me.
