"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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
back when jordan was first flying it was quite popular. they used to have a show on free to air tv which had highlights and interveiws and whatever for an hour or 2? - i didn't watch it. i'm not sure, they may have even played a game after it.
the NBL (national basketball leauge) used to be televised, and would get some decent crowds, 15 - 20K.
but its not as strong now.
depending on the state your in, its all about the AFL (australian rules football) or the NRL (rugby league), but rugby union is making big inroads with the super 12 league (all in winter) and for summer there is a very recently created A - League (soccer) which MAY take off and cricket.. + more things to do at home..
Basketball sucks here, I used to follow it all the time back in the days of Jordan, and somewhat in his return to Washington. Havent followed it since. NBL sucks, no good players, even the rejects from the US carve up in our league!
Clooney, its only a matter of time before Australia has a well established soccer league, will it be A - league? I can't be certain.Originally posted by CLOONEY
A-league only has a chance if we make it to the WC.

But I think they are doing the right thing keeping it very small (8 teams).
I don't follow soccer, but from what I hear we have a pretty good shot at making the next world cup. although, we do always seem to JUST miss out.
A-league, I still dont know many people who watch it. Not to mention York is the STAR attraction of the league, and he is washed up and old!Originally posted by quest

WC, not sure about that. We have an alright chance, I wouldnt say pretty good. From last I heard, we dont quality straight from Oceana again, we have to once again play the 5th South American side in a home and away leg. Thats assuming we get past NZ (lol), of which we most probably will!
Last time we played Uruguay, and this was a lot harder match than any of the other South American teams other than Brazil and Argentina. They had Recoba who was in a purple patch and were a strong attacking side (although Silva was vastly overrated). Not to mention, our players got spat on when they went over there! That being said, that was a tough draw, considering they were much better than Paraguay and Equador IMHO. They should have gone through to the next stage, other than a dumbazz refereeing decision that allowed an offside goal, putting, just edging them out.
"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.
LOL. of course no one watches the A Leauge. They just had the first round on the weekend. (i assume the whole first round) i know that melbourne victory drew with sydney FC. I didn't check the crowd numbers, and they would be irrelevant, being that the first home game in a new league will draw a much higher crowd then the 7th home game for example. it is being televised on fox sports 2. and it did get coverage in the herald sun (melbournes big newspaper). I think if they last 5 years, they'll last for good. and with that, the youth coming through will be better within 10-15 years, meaning Australia will improve. Will we improve as much as other developing soccer nations will be the key. - knowing australias love for sport, we will. and i think we'll make many world cups, but probably not be a challenger in any for a long time yet.Originally posted by CLOONEY
