"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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 won't deny that Wade is a solid star in the the league, but its absolutely RI-FUKIN-DICULOUS that he gets 25, 25 freaking free-throws in one game. Without Wade the Finals would surely be over, but until he stops getting so much help from the refs I'll never consider him an elite player.

He gets "help" from the refs because he takes it to the rim. WHen you take it to the rim, the chances of getting sent to the line sky rocket. You play hard, you get rewarded. He doesn't settle for jumpshots often, and is quick to the hoop. It's hard to defend that, and players end up bumping him, making contact, or whatever, and sent him to the line

Right, that's why he set a new NBA record for free throws in the finals and the Heat had about 3x as many free throw attemps as the Mavs. That, and because the Mavs never drive to the rim :rolleyes:

And lets not forget what the Heat won the game with. Two free throws from Wade.

Hopefully... I'm hoping that now that he can't run like he use to, that causes him to work on an arm that was second in the league behind Manning's record setting 49? in 2004-05. I also hope he's not the 05-06 Culpepper. Should be interesting. Maybe even Harrington resurrecting his career if Culpepper can't step in week 1 vs... get this, Ben Roethlisbeger's team.

You guys have an awesome defense though. Do you still have Zach Thomas?

To be fair, Wayne made some nice shots, and on the flip side of that, the calling was kinda iffy, especially that last drive to the net. I think Miami might have a hard time in Dallas though, as the series has shown.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

MY reality
The Heat are ALWAYS at the foul line. That's pretty much how they win all their games. By the 3rd quarter, the opposing team is usually in penalty because of Shaq, so Wade will just start driving to the hoop. They can't really double team Wade, or else Shaq will be open under the hoop for the alley-oop slam. Or else, Walker or Posey will be wide open for the 3. So in the attempt to stop Wade 1-on-1, he's inevitably going to get fouled. Wade is amazing at the FT line, and that's how the Heat win.

It seems kind of cheap, but that's how they've won every game in these playoffs. If they can't get to the FT line enough, they lose. The only real way to beat them is to hope that Shaq gets into foul trouble, or that Wade has an off day.

Kind of cheap? It's smart basketball. If they don't fould him, he'll make the shot. If they do, he'll go to the line. Its smart on behalf of Wade.

If you watched the replays, half the time he went to the line there was no contact. The announcers were even joking about it. It was pathetic.

What position do you play?

D-Wade is unstoppable. I wish people would quit like there's a conspiracy to get him to the line. With the way he throws his body around, it almost always LOOKS like somebody's fouling him, and that's all that counts in sports.
 

"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.

Is there any particular reason why ESPN, ABC etc. keep comparing him to Michael Jordan?

It's getting kind of annoying.....he's not bad but he's NOT MJ.

A DJ? He sounded like a person that was concerned about what other's thought. Dennis Rodman was a REAL DJ.

He is good. But people will forget about him (like they did with Vince Carter and several others).

He draws the foul like Jordan did, and he's always "manning" up and taking the ball to the rim. The stupid MAVS like the PISTONS play too passive, and often fall in love with the jump shot when they should drive to the hole and draw contact.

KOBE who???
 

"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.

Dallas goes 50 FTs in a game vs. San Antonio in the playoffs. Miami goes 49 FTs in an overtime game, and you guys want to ***** about Miami getting calls. STFU.
