"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.

Who will win the men's NCAA basketball championship?

Illinois or North Carolina?

I could care less, with Kentucky already out of it.
 

"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.

Illinois.

Because I live there.

And like 50% of our school goes to Urbana.

IL is a team of destiny
they've only lost once this year so if (when) they win the NC they'll have had the most wins of any team in NCAA history
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Phew, thank god i didn't lay a bet on this one. Really good game though, My boy bet on NC not only to beat the spread (Which was small) but had them winning by less then 8!!

20 dollar bet won him 370 (350 plus his 20 dollar wager back)

Live by the 3, die by the 3

NC was just a bit better ... at least that night.

Funny that the Sagarin computer rankings had NC #1, just a bit ahead of Illinois. I think Duke or Louisville was #3. I think Mich State was better than Duke, at least at the end of the year.

After those crazy regional final games, it all seemed so anticlimactic.
