Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Dwyane Wade

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.

"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.

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.
