"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.

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?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

No surprises, just disappointment. It's all in the commissioner's hands now. Hopefully he handles it correctly and bans this guy for at least a season and cracks down on testing.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

Are we going to find out that Barry Bonds used steroids as well?

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

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

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.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

About as much of a surprise as Milli Vanilli and Ashley Simpson lip syncing.

What the fvck does that have to do with this?

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.

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.

Giambi was too obvious though & so is Bonds.
 

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
You know, the one good thing about the baby-boomer generation dying off will be that baseball will probably go bankrupt.

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.

Dude, what Artest did was far worse than what Bonds allegedly did.

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.
