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.

Greater opportunity + Finances + Facilities + Drugs + History of whites succeeding in the sport when blacks weren't even involved = Whites being more successful at it. But you can't really apply those arguments with sprinting, it's clearly a genetic propensity for blacks. Same with bodybuilding.

And I hope that's a joke!! Black, world class (as in, top few in the world) soccer players: Ronaldinho, Eto, Drogba, Henry
White ones: C. Ronaldo, Old Ronaldo, Messi, Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes, Kaka, Zidane, Figo etc etc

Slightly off topic but come on....Americans know f.uck all about 'soccer' anyway. :rolleyes:
But I bet they're the most skillfull. I'm sure the stats would say Blacks have a higher poportion of soccer players playing than Whites. BTW I'm not American! lol Its boring I agree though. :p
