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.
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.

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
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.
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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
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.
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.
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.
