"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Jason Giambi admits to steroids

"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.

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

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.

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

"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.

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.
"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.

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.
Your over 5000-post count with 4.5 posts per day gives me a tought your always-so-dear-little girlfriend of yours should take you to a walk outside sometime. You must be pale as snowman in a freezer.Originally posted by Eternal

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.
