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 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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Wouldn't Davidson have to play UClA in the national championship game?
im picking ucla to win it all...their defense is just too much
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

"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.

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.

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.
What a mess.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
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.

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.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.stand said:

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.stand said:
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.
"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.
