"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Mike tyson returns to boxing

"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.

I can't take pure promotional fights like this seriously. I'm a big fan of the old Roy Jones Jr. And Mike is obviously also a big legend. But let's be honest, their prime is long gone.

When Rampage Jackson fought Fedor Emelianenko last December I was expecting a somewhat decent brawl. What happened? We saw a fat, slow and exhausted Rampage that didn't even fight back. It was sad and shouldn't have happened in the first place. The last image you see of a fighter lasts forever and could potentially harm their legacy.

These guys have enough time to get in really good shape. It's up to them.

It's always up to the athletes. After reaching a certain age your body just can't perform like it did 20 years ago. It's not a matter of muscle mass or speed. It's your heart and your lungs. Exhaustion hits way faster. And since it's on ESPN, you have to buy the fight pass on ESPN+ I believe. UFC will stream the fight too.

Obviously it's up to the consumer whether he considers it worthwile. But many people buy into the hype and end up disappointed. That's why I don't expect much when I hear about promotional exhibition matches that feature old legends who want to make a comeback.

Either way, we'll see how it goes.

But you don't have to go out there fat and out of shape. That's a choice. Sure he won't be as quick as his prime. But he doesn't have to be fat and out of shape.

Tyson will be "too fat" until he is between 215-220, that was his fighting weight. The last i heard he's 235lbs...

Mike and Roy Jones won't be fat, I know that. I saw a couple of Mike's recent shadow boxing clips. He's still a beast.

I saw it too, he's a beast. In my honest analysis, he is still a little too fat. He had some fights where he was 225, 230 and alittle higher, he was just not as sharp. He was super sharp between 215-220.

Exhibition fights usually go for 3 rounds. They do it this way because they know that there is no way in hell where they'll be able to keep up the pace for 12 rounds. So we'll hopefully see some good bombs. Jones is a light heavyweight. So Mike will be way heavier than him if he doesn't bulk up.

Yes. He was at about 215 when he fought against Holmes. Man, he looked like a f*cking bull with that muscle mass. Also explosive as hell.
 

"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It's not a real fight. They are being encouraged not to go for a knockout and any cut is an immediate stoppage.

They will make plenty of money though.

I have a hunch that everything we will read about this fight going into it is a setup.

A fighter is a brand to be marketed. If Tyson was going to be built up to be a more profitable brand, he needs to look like his old self. And that old self wouldn't let this fight let out of the first round. Even at this age, I don't think you can tell tyson to not go 100%.

My prediction is tyson by tko, and there is a good chance of that being early in the first round. Afterward, jones will be like, "what the hell man? You said this was just friendly sparring."

If Jones is in good shape i think he'll have quite a speed advantage. But yes if Tyson brings his brand back alive it won't matter. His power level is what killed folks when he was champ. Just too much power. Just too much technique.

I found this:
