"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.

I'm calling it now. Davidson will defeat UCLA. And it also looks like Carolina will cruise to the Championship. Tough to get a read on Memphis.
 

"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.

Wouldn't Davidson have to play UClA in the national championship game?

the only reason florida was able to beat them was cus they were so much bigger and stronger...cant see any of the teams left dominating ucla like florida did

I had a good night in my Pick 8 pool. Davidson, Kansas,Memphis and Texas all won and I have them on the same card. A lot could happen but I'm entering today's games in the money. Cheers!

MAN, you can hear the chant all the way in AZ from the east coast.


Rock-chalk-jayhawk!

I would love to see them win it all, but ol Roy is a beast.

But thats cool, the final four will ignite our recruit-like we need it-for years to come.

I'm assured of a minimum of fourth place and in the money in my Pick 8 pool. The top 5 spots pay out. There are 3 of us tied for 2nd place and it'll come down to total points in the final game. I have 149 as my total and the other 2 guys have 171 and 162. I hope the 2 teams that make it to the final play a low scoring game and it could land me in 2nd place with a $200 difference between 2nd and 4th. Cheers!

I picked the Giants earlier this year, and will pick my alma mater U of M to win the whole thing. These other teams in there are chumps. John Calipari has the Italian mafia on his side, and 3-6 mafia as a hometown band.

eh, looks like I'm rooting for my ACC brothers just south of me. It's possible that next season I will get to go see them live in Chapel Hill, and WF.

They're having March Madness at my alma mater but for completely different reasons. There is currently no head coach. Tony Bennett from Washington State just said no to us. And now players are threating to transfer - not to mention the incoming recruiting class that has completely backtracked now that the head coach who recruited them is gone.

What a mess.
 

"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.

That one player, Carlos Roberts (?) was really impressive, he really wants to get picked high in the NBA draft. And I'm surprised Deon Thompson starts for UNC, he went to my school 2 years ago and everyone was saying he was just all size.

It's Chris Douglas Roberts & he's a borderline lottery pick.. Probably later first round pick.

Derrick Rose does not lose and will not lose. He is playing out of system and is about to lead his team to a championship in his freshmen season. Enjoy watching him, because you will not see a PG like this for a while. He is ridiculous.

Rose has lost under 10 games -- in his grade school, high school, and college career. Enough said.

Bet the grandchildren on Memphis. I would not be surprised to see Rose go for 30/10/10 in his college finale.

Yeah, Chicago does produce good ones. He Should go pro. Calipari will get more commitments to fill the gaps left by their exodus.

If he works on his defense, he has a chance to be the next Jason Kidd. If he gets really, really good at defense, he has a chance to be the next Gary Payton, only a better rebounder.

I watched him play in AAU tournaments when he was in high school. He was consistently the most athletic player on the floor, and there was top-50 talent around him at all times. He had a lot of the intangibles too, a good leader, a competitive drive, etc.
