"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.

"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

NASCAR is overrated. Come back when she wins a F1 race.
 

"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.

I stand corrected. My second sentence still holds true, though. :D

Well this is enough to piss off any misogynist. Keep in mind she is just ONE woman who got a win. You can always find a man and more than one who can beat women at one of their games :D .

In all seriousness though I think she is pretty hot. I think she gets treated like a princess in a man's sport, but a man almost never is treated kindly in a woman dominated field. Just wanted to point out who the real haters are :p .

yeah but she got a taste of blood/victory now, so I hope she starts getting more and more wins then she'll be just ONE woman who got many many many many wins, lol.. I'd REALLY REALLY love to see her in Nascar..

Come on Danica, lets win them all baby:up:
 

"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.

Yay, she drove in 300 circles and won.....
Try 300 circles@ over 200 mph, side-by-side with about 30 other cars all going the same speed, trying to get around your ass, and a constant threat of death at every second...

Try to drive a car that weighs only 2400 pounds with a 1,000 HorsePower, you wouldn't be able to make one lap, lol

Race-car drivers have way more balls then any other athlete in exsistence,oh and I say athlete, because they sit in a car wrestling it at over 200 mph, hot, concentration, quick reflexes....

Oh, young man, Danica did more than just win, she fought a duel to the grizzly end, and she kicked the enemies ass!:up: :p

Please. Racing is an elitist sport that doesn't have any athletes. If you have that right last name or right connections, you get to learn how to train to be a race car driver. And, of course, it will most likely work out since any healthy individual can do it. Of course it seems a bit of a conundrum in Nascar since there you have elitist rednecks.

It certainly isn't like basketball or football where practically everyone's tried it, and you end up with truly the best possible people playing those sports.

And people lap these cars all the time; every day joe's. There are places you can go to pluck down several hundred to do exactly that.

Or wins any race where it's necessary to make a right turn.
