"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.

Mike tyson returns to boxing

"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.

Also, they are most likely going to fight without an audience. Just imagine how the punches must sound when they connect. Time for popcorn!
13:30 on this video Roy says "Just me and Mike Tyson. After Mike Tyson, I'm done." So he wanted this for years! He also did well at a little over 200lbs. With that hunger, i have a feeling the man will get himself into way better shape than he should be able to get to. This is gonna be a hell of a show!

You have to watch his fight against Joe Calzaghe. Jones got a taste of his own medicine in that fight. Man was he outclassed. I mean, outclassing the speed virtuoso Roy Jones is something not many fighters at that time could say about themselves.

Ok. Watching. These are all HOT.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

There was a thread recently about high school reunions. For anyone curious, do a random search for vids on 20 and 30 year reunions. You won't recognize ANYONE from their high school photos. They are literally different people.

These two washed up has beens are THIRTY YEARS past their primes. Not 5, not 10, but THIRTY.

People really are insanely stupid. Not only do they believe in fake viruses, they actually think guys in their mid 50's are actually still skilled fighters.

Whatever, if they're dumb enough to fight, and people are dumb enough to pay for it, go for it.

You're watching too, admit it. At least the post-stream upload on YouTube.

His ranch has a strain that pushes 40% thc. I have seen it independently tested at 37%.

Almost all the mma fighters I knew smoked weed, never cigarettes but always weed, including before fights. Being relaxed in a fight is an advantage.

I hope he's not smoking as he prepares himself.

I wouldn't have that shyt in my body. Less motor control and less power output. I hope he knows how it affects him.
 

"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.

I think whether or not both fighters treat this as an exhibition is really the question. At their ages they both could have easily conspired for a big pay day and it might just be a glorified sparring session (look up when De La Hoya fought Shaq)

Now if they do both try 100% to go for the win I think it will be very interesting.. I know most people think Tyson should win this relatively easily given his size and power advantage.. However I think there's 2 major things in Jones's favor everyone seems to overlook.

1. He is younger than Tyson
2. He has fought professionally a lot more recently than Tyson

Like I said if both men really try and go for it then it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

more buildup
is that around your Thanksgiving date in U.S. too?

Yes, it is the saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. It is a great time slot. I know a promoter in northern Illinois who does only one mma event per year, always on that date. People are desperate for entertainment and bored of their relatives.
 

“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.
