"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 only saw part of it but WOW. I like the guy as a fighter but as a decent person he does not qualify. I mean he's a fighter so he doesn't have to be the best person ever but still, his kids are gonna see that vid and as their primary inspiration, you have to figure they'll think it's "cool" and be edged towards being a$$holes themselves. That's really the last thing we need around here is more a$$holes.

On the contrary. He might be this generations Ali. If not for nam Ali's statements might have been in the same light and he wouldn't of been stripped of his title.

"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.

Nah. My father always said this of Ali, he's got a mouth, but behind it, he's got class. This is no class.

Well "Money" Mayweather is in jail now for grand larceny. I think hes gonna be there for a monte. I'm definitely not in his camp anymore but do you think he comes back stronger from jail or gets shanked inside?

Floyd isnt in jail that article is 16 days old.

According to 50 cent's twitter, floyd is free and happy with his new girl. That's more reliable than any news agency...

Apparently the story is that he she claimed he hit him and took her ipod. For a guy that makes 20 mil a year grand larceny for an ipod is an interesting charge. She made similiar claims that he hit her before aswell, and dropped the case right before it went to court apparently. Clearly the girl is just a pain in the ass.

Floyd #1.

You saying Floyd is #1, is like you thinking you own the streets of your neighborhood even though you haven't even fought the bully next door.

We don't know if Floyd or Pacquaio is #1. But we do know this, Floyd is afraid of fighting Pacquaio and that says a lot.
 

"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.

Floyd has no reason to pressure himself and prove anything by fighting pac.

He has more to lose, he doesn't need to risk it. He's already at the top, i think he will fight him when he needs it.

Of course he has more to lose, since he is putting his on undefeated record on the line.

But you cannot seriously say he is at the top, to be the man, you have to BEAT the man.

You say he will fight Pacquaio on his own timetable, fair enough, but Floyd better not go around saying he is the *best.* To keep your Alpha status, you have to continually beat down other challengers, that's how it works with dogs, and that's how it works with men. Since Floyd keeps skirting the challenger, his Alpha status is now in question, as it should be.

The interesting thing is that Floyd always ends up eventually fighting these guys everyone says he is ducking and defeating them.... He did this Diego Corrales way back when....., then he beat Ricky Hatton who was undefeated at the time... and most recently everyone said he wouldn't fight Shane Mosley but he ended up beating him as well

The Pac fight is intriguing though.... Pac just might be equal with Floyd in Speed and footwork... I'd give Pac the edge in power but Floyd the edge in defense

Very compelling matchup....

Yes, it could very well be that Mayweather would prevail against Pacquiao in the fight.

However, Mayweather's attitude of running and avoiding the fight is not the mindset of a champion.

I never heard of Kobe Bryant wishing that it wasn't the Celtics he was facing in the finals. In fact, he relished the thought of vanquishing his biggest rival, he wanted to go through the Celtics en route to the title.

"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.
