"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.

FIFA WORLD CUP - Official thread!

"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.

Where I be at
Man...someone else musta saw the Ecuador game. they were looking hella clean. Their possession football was on point. That game woulda been a blow out but they had so much lost possession in the attacking third after stringing 5+ great passes. Other than that it was great one touch football that reminded me of the brazillians, and many breathtaking defense stops. I can see them causing quite a ruckus in the tourney.

Oh and Lahm's goal didnt hold a flame to the rocket of a shot that Fring put in... You could see him teeing it up and went to hit the ball in the sweet spot but i thought it would just be deflected or misfired as usual

I saw the Ecuador game. I am from and living in ecuador right now. It was a beautiful game. your comments are good. I hope brazil loses though. I am sick of them winning almost every year. It is time for a new champ(Ecuador, just kidding).

Yeah, DAMN, what strikes by Lahm and Frings!

What an opening game to the tournament!

Ecuador looked good, Id rather seem a more flamboyant team such as Ecuador go through in preference to a systematical Poland! Ecuador looked good in qualifying, hopefully they can hold their form throughout the tournament! Would be good to see them go far!

England V Paraguay in several hours, doubt Paraguay can win, but I can see them holding out a draw. And I think its Argentina V Ivory Coast, that should produce some exciting football!
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Well I just made a few bets, Owen to be the first goalscorer against Paraguay. A 2-0 England win, and a win later on for Argentina over Ivory Coast by 2-1 (I expect Drogba to get a goal for the IC).

Ha ha, hopefully I get at least one of the bets up!
 

"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.

well I gotta say, on England's showing today, had they been playing a better team they'd've got slaughtered.

liked the look of Germany though. Costa Rica aren't a bad side at all.

Well picked the Argentina V Ivory coast result, but missed the England one! Damn, IC are pretty good, they deserved a draw against Argentina! Drogba is the man! Looks so dangerous, both on the ground and in the air!

IC plays a fast, entertaining game of football!

Netherlands to beat Serbia and Montenegro tonight, will be interesting to see how their D can shut down Robben and Ruud.

Portugal is soon to play.

How in the world is Ricardo Quaresma NOT on the Portugal team in WC 2006?

:eek:
I know. But I'll trust our coach. He proved he was worthy... Let's see.

Holland - Serbia & Montenegro

1-0

Van der Sar and Robben played a great match.
The defense isn't that solid though. Ruud didn't do that well either. But we had a lot of ball possesion and won even with a German guy as referee :p

Holland's gonna win this one!!

I guess this comes to prove how all you american fans are noobs regarding football.
 

"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.
