"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

everyone knows I'm from little rock and I am a die hard razorback fan.

I feel like I got rapped after watching the officals in the florida v. arkansas game yesterday.

we had it. we were the better team yesterday and the officals just started making up calls.
 

"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.

Those calls were a bit shady, but Hogs had every chance to put the game away and they couldnt pull the trigger.

In the end the better team won, even though they did play very sloppy.

I think Alabama should b ranked number one in the nation right now. They have the most physical complete football team in NCAA at the moment. They don't excell in any one area but they don't turn over the ball and play overall inconsistantly like the rest of the teams in the top five.

Irrelevant.

It does not matter who is ranked #1 now, Florida or Alabama.

The winner of the SEC championship game will go to the BCS title game.

Simple as that.

Even if Florida loses once before the SEC championship (11-1) and Alabama is undefeated going into the SEC championship (12-0) (or vice-versa) the winner of the SEC championship will go to the BCS title game.

It will be settled on the field.

All other talk is just mental masturbation.

Watching OSU get beat by Purdue was less than motivating.
 

"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.

It was great. So happy to see that talentless punk Pryor get his ass handed to him by a 1-5 team. Made my day.

I don't understand how we can play so close against them at their home stadium, and 2 of our 3 losses be to Alabama and Florida (both away games), and we're still not even considered top 25. We could easily beat at least half of the teams in the top 25.

The polls clearly focus too much on simple wins vs. losses; crazy given some of the insanely easy schedules some teams get (like Boise).

...I was just commenting on the current ranking, not about how the season was going to end up.

Though I will concede everything you stated there is true. If everything stays the same and the top three teams win out, the only sure fire team to go to the national championship will be Texas because either Florida or Alabama has to knock one or the other off.

Azanon you really anwserd your own question. Arkansas has 3 losses and that's pretty much like having a DUI on your driving record and applying for a limousine drivers spot. It MIGHT happen but it's unlikely. Only 4 teams in the top 25 have 2 losses and the only three loss team in any poll is Oklahoma and they're at number 24 or 25.

Yeah, Pryor is a punk. And OSU is a notoriously overrated football team, despite their achievements in the last 7 years. I think I still carry that flag to help justify the assload of money I spent at that school:crazy:
 

"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.

dude we'd pommell at least half of the top 25.

Arkansas played 4 undefeated teams in a row. A and M, Bama, Auburn, Florida. and split them and should have went 3 and 1.

The SEC just suspended that officiating crew for the rest of the season.
yeah those were two really rotten calls. the suspension was well deserved since they pretty much decided the conclutions of the games. as much money as the SEC has you'd think they'd do a better job training their officiating staff.
