"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.

Miami vs Dallas?

"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.

Chicago was really impressive today and their bench holy ****....
The Chicago's coach is the guy who won the championship with the Celtics back then in 2008, he is a defense Engineer specialist.
 

"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.

eating my words

no doubt the bulls stepped their game up huge, I was not expecting them to bring this amount of intensity. I still think Miami wins, but my sweep predictions was obviously wrong. Still think Rose is overrated, but gotta admit bulls looked great last night and I was WAY WRONG.

Well, that was easily the worst I have ever seen Rose. That whole game was pathetic. Silver lining for me is the fact that I haven't seen the Bulls play that horribly all season, and they were in it until the end. That was just bad basketball all around...
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Well, you were right, man. I'm in complete shock. Chicago is quiet as hell right now.

Let's go Mavs!

It's been a rough couple months lol... But every one of those organizations is moving in the right direction. Plus, the Blackhawks won last year and had a major overhaul of their roster. So, that was expected.

I would prefer seeing all of the Chicago teams making playoff runs, than how it was just a few years ago. Just stings a little more this way...

Chicago is a very young team and they're only going to get better. They're also about a piece away from winning a championship. I used to be a huge LeBron James fan back in his days with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but now I just can't stand that man. I began losing respect for him when he gave up on his team in the playoffs and lost even more respect for him the second he decided he had to join forces with Dwayne Wade in order to win a championship. I'm looking forward to see the Dallas Mavericks kick the hell out of the Miami Heat. Nowitzki is unstoppable and getting his ring this year.

Rose is inexperienced. NOT overrated. He proved he can carry a team on his back and at least to the conference finals. He was being guarded by two or three different guys (one being the BEST player in the league) with more size and reach and still managed to play decently.
 

"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.

Bulls

Well I dont want to gloat but I was right. As for the bulls, they won't win without getting a great sf/sg as of now I can think OF none that are wanting to be traded. One could say they could get westbrook and make him and 2 guard, but nah. I think the bulls will be good and a playoff team yearly, but they don't need a pg or c/pf (howard). The team that I close to being dominant is the Knicks and of course the Heat for years to come. Knicks need a big man (MARC GASOL) and a couple more role players and they should be great.

They might pick up O.J. Mayo or J.R. Smith. I remember they were thinking about Courtney Lee a while back. This should get interesting.
