"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.
I said the nba were the laziest most corrupt bastards!

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

There is quite the ethnic diversity amongst the defendants. The Chinese names make me wonder if the CCP was connected to it.

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.

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
"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.
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.

Yup formula one is also taking off in the south.
