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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.
Well said expensive food crappy management and lack of diversity .![]()
34 charged in NBA, poker gambling cases include Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier and alleged mob figures. See the full list.
An NBA Hall of Famer, a current star and former player are among dozens arrested in an FBI crackdown on illegal gambling that includes alleged members of organized crime families.www.cbsnews.com
There is quite the ethnic diversity amongst the defendants. The Chinese names make me wonder if the CCP was connected to it.
Also,
"Ammar Awawdeh
The 34-year-old Brooklyn resident, nicknamed "Flapper Poker" and "Flappy," according to the indictment, is described as a member of the Gambino Crime Family..."
They have to mean "associate," and not member. I thought you had to be Italian to actually be in the mob, but my source for that is The Sopranos.
Yup formula one is also taking off in the south.From the 10-The Present? Sure, insofar as your charge of poor motivation goes. The NBA's lineup from the mid-80s through most of The 2000s was nothing short of immaculate though, in terms of sheer talent and dedication
During the late 20th Century and first decade of The New Millenium, NO other professional league or association in The US produced nearly as many legends as The NBA did, during this sane period
And, as of this writing, The UFC appears to be the only association that has a shot at replicating such success
