"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.

"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.

First of all
I like to congratulate the
2008 World Champion Boston Celtics
defeating a basketball team that wears yellow, from california and have gone fishin in lakes 4-1.
It has been a great season with uncertainty and having faith in a common goal.
Special thanks to God for all his blessings, and Christ Jesus who Loves us.
Like to mention Doc Rivers an excellent coach plus the coaching staff.
Also Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, and Paul Pierce.
Its been a long years on the road, but your finally did it. Congratulations Champions you all deserve it.

I think the Lakers also have home court advantage and the Celtics haven't been spectacular in anyway on the road. The celtics are a better team defensively and usually defense wins championships but again I think Kobe has just elevated the Lakers game to another level.
I think the lakers win in 6 games.

"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 Lakers may have to go smaller to get more quickness with someone like Luke Walton instead of Radmanovic though otherwise Ray Allen is going to have a huge series especially since Pierce is going to struggle for every point he gets with Kobe on him.
I'm cheering for the Lakers but at least the "dynasty" spurs aren't in it
... everyone on that team is overrated as **** even Duncan, so at least the media will have to do something other than worshipping jesus ginobili. So I'm happy either way but I really hope the Lakers can pull it out.Case Sensitive

Actually I believe Michael Jordan is the Michael Jordan of our time.Bible_Belt said:

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
I like perk as a banger but he's not suited for the quicker and more perimeter oriented Lakers frontcourt.wutangfinancial said:
Yeah I think KG has been the 2nd best player in the league for the past 5+ years, him and Kobe would make the MVP race every year if their teams didn't suck all that time.wutangfinancial said:
But Tim Duncan is the best 4 of all time right?
Nobody ever talks about him! And he just quietly does his work and the reason nobody knows how good he is is because he doesn't draw attention to himself. And nobody ever talks about the Spurs yet they have the greatest sports dynasty in the past century with their mind blowing 4 championships in 10 years. Case Sensitive

Kobe may be the best in the league now but comparing him to Jordan is pointless. It's not only an insult to Mike but an insult to Kobe.jahidi said:
Think about it. Once a player becomes TRULY great, the comparisons to other players stop. When Jordan was king, people didn't go around saying he was the "Dr. J" of today (although they did that at the beginning of his career). But when Mike came into his own the comparisons to everyone else stopped. If Kobe truly becomes great, no one will compare him to Jordan anymore. People will just say "he's Kobe Bryant". No comparisons needed.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Kobe already has become truly great which is why people are asking the question of whether or not he is better than Jordan. That's where the comparisons are coming from: trying to determine who is better, because people/media always want to rank the greats. Of course Jordan is the all time best but that fact that there are people even entertaining the thought that Kobe may be better than Jordan is a testament to Kobe's greatness.Case Sensitive said:
So you're saying Kobe isn't truly great because he's not as good as Michael Jordan? The only time people will stop comparing and say "he's Kobe Bryant" is when he becomes the undisputed best of all time which isn't going to happen. Until then people will compare him to his fellow legends of the game because, again, people like to rank the best players.Case Sensitive said:
This is the disrespect Kobe gets though. Lebron James was practically inducted into the NBA hall of fame when he was in high school and Manu freakin' Ginobili makes an all NBA team and gets worshiped like a god but we can't even talk about Kobe being a legend.

Good job kg for pulling the game out..
Awesome!
"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.
