"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"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'm just happy Steinbrenner is now eating that 80 mil. The beginning of the downfall of the Evil Empire? Hopefully.
Just more proof that the YANKEES SUCK HARDCORE!!
not likely. the current MLB policy is if someone gets caught for steroids 5 times they get suspended for a year.Originally posted by Broham
Hopefully he handles it correctly and bans this guy for at least a season and cracks down on testing.
thats what i heard on the radio this morning

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

That's probably true. I worked with college baseball players a couple years ago and about 1/2 to 3/4 of them used steroids.Originally posted by MindOverMatter
What's new, almost EVERY pro athlete uses them. If you're gonna start baning them for it, may as well shut down the whole league.

Are we going to find out that Barry Bonds used steroids as well?Originally posted by Eternal
Ok, if you haven't heard, Jason Giambi admitted to a Balco jury that he used steroids provided to him by Barry Bond's trainer.
Any thoughts?

Looks to me like an attempt to save face before all the accusations went his way.

Breaking news...Bonds just admitted to a grand jury that he "unknowingly" took steriods that his trainer provided him with.

Looks like Hank Aaron will still be the man then!!!

"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.

What the fvck does that have to do with this?Originally posted by Derek Flint
Just last week pretty much everyone here thought how great it was that Ron Artest was a thug, but now, steroids are such a bad thing.
You are the master of taking things out of context.

We're talking about high-profile, professional athletes and their behavior, that's what that has to do with this.Originally posted by il_duce

And just what did I take out of context?
Do you even know what that means or are you just trying to sound like you actually know what the fock you're talking about?

You're an idiot. Bonds CHEATED. Now, I don't care if anybody takes steroids away from a sport, do what you want, but he cheated and screwed it up for the clean players, fans, everyone. Artest was disrespected and went after some street revenge...what Artest did has nothing to do with the sport itself.Originally posted by Derek Flint

Giambi was too obvious though & so is Bonds.
"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.

It's an old, boring sport whose golden age passed decades ago.
That's WHY the juicing rules aren't enforced properly...because if they were all clean there'd be no home runs and it'd be boring as hell to watch.

Artest criminally assaulted paying fans.
Street revenge? Is that how you want to rationalize it?
"Yo, you dissed me so I'm gonna kick yo ass"
More like typical street thug punk behavior.
It's that type of idiot mentality that has people shooting each other because they got "dissed"
Yeah, Artest is going to be out over 5 Mil over a thrown beer - what a dumbass.
At least Bonds didn't beat up any fans.
Amazing that people are even attempting to rationalize Artest.
