"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.

Kimbo Slice ****ing sucks. He would lose to ANY heavyweight in the UFC.

He always has been a guy who fights cans, and he has no ground game at all. He got KTFO'd from a jab on one foot by a Karate kid, who is a UFC reject and is in a lighter weight division.

He is so over hyped by Elite XC (scammers). Its a joke. And kimbos "posse" after the fight threatened his wife. What a tool
 

"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.

The best thing about Elite XC right now is Gina Carano...and possibly Tito Ortiz.

Kimbo will be laughing to the bank anyway despite what people say about him. The guy is going to walk away from this a millionaire when a couple years ago he was beating up fat dudes in backyards. There's a million guys out there that could've did what kimbo did and much better, he just got his lucky break thanks to youtube. If he's not stupid with his money, he will now have a comfortable life. Can't hate on Kimbo, he did what he had to do. Like he said, "that's how a nigga eat."

I agree with this.

After watching this fight, it just doesn't sit right...it's almost as if Kimbo took a dive on purpose.

If you've watched the iron jaw Kimbo has in his backyard fights, there's just no way a weak right jab from Seth could drop him like that. It doesn't add up.

It wasn't even a punch to the jaw. There's no excuse.

Not to mention, if you watch the video, Seth was on one leg when he delivered that punch. There's just no way there could have been much power behind that weak pop, his feet weren't even planted..he was on one leg.

Honestly, I could have taken that punch and smiled back at him.

I think Kimbo took a dive on this one...I know Kimbo lacks mma skills, but there's just no way that punch would have dropped him like it did.

^^^ Nah, no way in heck I believe Kimbo took a dive on purpose. He's pretty ambitious about his fighting career, training with Bas and all. I know what you mean though, that just didn't look like a knockout punch to me either and I've seen Kimbo take on way more in his fight with Sean Gannon. If he was going to fake one, he wouldn't have let some guy with pink hair drop him. And Kimbo admitted that he had a black eye after the fight, so he must've got walloped.
 

"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.

I don't think Kimbo would've taken a dive in the first 14 seconds. He would've known how bad it would be for his career. If he was going to take a dive we would of just sandbagged for a while and then went down after giving the audience a fight.

I saw the fight and the jab didn't do much. Kimbo slipped, ate a punch, and Seth just jumped on the oppurtunity to get in as many shots as he could before Kimbo could defend himself. I'm not going to down either guy becuase one lost his footing and the other seized an oppurtunity. You have to remember that in mma that you have to be able to defend yourself actively so that it won't be considered a k.o., and Seth got to Kimbo before he could along with the ref calling the match pretty quickly. I say they should put together a rematch.

I doubt he took a dive. It wasn't in the best interest for elite xc that kimbo lost so quickly. If it was at leat somewhat of a fight and he lost then it would make some sense to say that it was fixed.

I hung out with him last weekend, no joke. The guy is a very savvy businessman and afaik works for himself. He promotes fights and sometimes will fight in the same events he promotes. I hope to do the same thing. This was my first event promoting. Eric was the celebrity guest at my company's mma event:

In regard to Kimbo, no, he is not that great of an mma fighter. But I will share with you guys a secret about the business, which is that success as a fighter depends a lot more upon how many tickets you sell than it does your abilities as a fighter.

"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.

maybe Kimbo is owned by the mafia and they told him to take a dive, probably made some real good money by doing that. Happens all the time.

Kimbo Slice sucks. I have no respect for a man who goes out to fight with the aim of taking his opponents ears of and has no regrets. I don't even understand why boxing or kick boxing is a sport. Yet dog fight is seen as cruelty (Well, it is) but this is animals we are talking about here. Anybody here seen the movie "The Champ"? It's pretty old. It's about a boy who watched his father die after a boxing match.

I am trying to hire him right now as the celebrity guest at my next mma fight. He was asking 12 grand plus two 1st class plane tickets as of last summer. I am guessing that he will be wanting much less these days.

Congratulations! You just won the world's worst analogy award!
 

"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.

The original UFC was a human ****fight. No doubt about that.
