Gibdon on Wade dunk was disgusting!!
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.
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.
If this first game is indicating anything maybe you might have to be the one making the apologynmartinez12443 said:Time will tell and I will be bumping this up and accepting your apologies.
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.

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.Fred_Scuttle said:it was the Bears, the Blackhawks, now the Bulls. dont think they are too happy in chi town tonight
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.nmartinez12443 said:Still think Rose is overrated, but gotta admit bulls looked great last night and I was WAY WRONG.
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.
If he doesn't sign a contract extension this summer then sure why not?PDubb75 said:C-quenced. Would you mind handing over Dwight Howard? kthanks
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.nmartinez12443 said: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.
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.
