I thought you were going out to dinner?
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.
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.
you know what... I knew octave was Pletchers best horse.. you just have boxed the tri.Suicide said:BB, if you were here now a beer would be in order for how we called the Distaff.
I hit a HUGE tri with Octave, hystericalady and Ginger Punch as my last minute third choice.
I also made over a G on a last minute Ginger Punch/ALL exacta. That was a great race.
Lahudood bought my dinner tonight.
I hit the super in the classic along with a $100 win bet on Curlin. But I lost a bit on Tiago.

Correct... I had an Octave; hystericalady; Ginger Punch; Prop Me Up tri box.backbreaker said:you know what... I knew octave was Pletchers best horse.. you just have boxed the tri.
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.
If you are so bent out of shape about it maybe you should have done your own research.cordoncordon said:Again, based on your pics going into today, you hit 1 out of 8, and your two best bets that were going to get the majority of your cash, both lost.
I am telling you guys now, as a guy who has been in the horse racing biz for 20 years, BB claiming he made thousands today is a total impossibility based on the bets he claimed he was going to make.
I think it's like $24 or something for a $2 four horse tri box. It might be more.backbreaker said:that's one thing I have never done.. boxed a tri. Because I never like 3 horses ThAt much. I usually at least like 2 better than 1. how much is that 12 bucks?
and you know what else I had and didn't ****ing bet? The lauluhood/Honey Ryder Exacta. even ****ing called it in this thread. GF had bought me someting to eat while I was at the window and I was so busy trying to get my hamburger my mind went blank. And about 5 mintues later I said "watch it come in"
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.
you had to see her back in August to know she was this good, which I did. And also that the only shot on hell is her on a soft turf. which today was.Suicide said:I think it's like $24 or something for a $2 four horse tri box. It might be more.
And I hit that with a $10 exacta box. I was actually pretty surprised that Lahudood came in at all.
No I believe BB made what he said because Lahudood was $25 (I don't really understand it since the odds were 11 to 1) and Kip Deville was about $20. So if I would've bet on these 2 horse I wouldve been up at least 3-5x my original bank roll. But I didn't have those horses to win or whatever. That's the problem though I was trying to copy BB's picks and it's key to get the same results you have to get all of the same picks and to spread your bankroll correctly. I didn't do this because I didn't know any better or have perfect information at the time. If I would just bet something on Lahuddod I wouldve came out ahead. I didn't have anything left to wager at that point I didn't have my bets spread right.cordoncordon said:Again, based on your pics going into today, you hit 1 out of 8, and your two best bets that were going to get the majority of your cash, both lost.

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.
If the odds are 11-1, you would get $11 on a one dollar bet. The payout results at the end are generally off of a $2 bet. Lahudood paid $25.40 on a $2 bet.ketostix said:No I believe BB made what he said because Lahudood was $25 (I don't really understand it since the odds were 11 to 1) and Kip Deville was about $20.
Ok I guess its its a $2 minimum on a win. It seems like $2x11+2 should beSuicide said:If the odds are 11-1, you would get $11 on a one dollar bet. The payout results at the end are generally off of a $2 bet. Lahudood paid $25.40 on a $2 bet.
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.
