What's up with this fool? They say a fool and his money are soon parted. Looks like that's what's gonna happen. Is he the next Mike Tyson?
"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.

"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.

I DON'T think his problem is money. he was a fool before he had money an he isn't THAT damn rich. in the NFL you have money but unless you are one of the top 2-3 picks and you play QB.. your real money comes on your 2nd contract. He probably clears 2 mil a year which isn't chump change
his problem is his lack of a role model. he tries to hard to fit in. he doesn't comprehend the fact that he is not in the same situation as his friends are anymore. he doesn't have to carry around a gun. he IS a target and his friends aren't.

Re:
He was a problem before he entered the NFL.
I knew of all players he wouldn't, and can't, change. His actions are the worst of any players. Worse than TO. Worse than MOSS. Drunk driving? Yes, you could kill someone, but it isn't close to what PacMan has done and what is coming. Even Tank Johnson isn't quite as close. With his offenses, he's on par with former RB from Denver (Maurice....something, former Ohio State).
I hope he doesn't come back. The nfl doesn't need.
Moreover, giving 21-22 years BIG money for college performance?
COME ON!!! For the top picks it's not even a level playing field!
Calvin Johnson is so far above all other WRs and CB's, that his performance was destined. Does that mean the fans/owners have to cough up dough for an unproven performance?
STOP GIVING ROOKIES BIG CONTRACTS.
Pay them moderately, then let them escalate as performance dictates.
Er, Ryan Leaf? W-T-F
Charles Rogers?
Mike Williams?
30 million? Please. Perform, THEN get paid.
I couldn't believe it when Bush was harping that he was SUPPOSED to be pick 1, and wanted the same money as Mario Williams, ALTHOUGH he didn't get picked #1. I have sympathy for RBs, b/c they have to get their dough early and fast, but most other players have longer time lines, especially for adapting to the nfl, which they may never do. Being as nasty as LT, SA, LJ, etc isn't as likely, but due to turnover of RB, they get a shot immediately, and more play time if they can catch and block well.

when you sit down and look at it.... pac man hasn't done anything really but be stupid.. if being stupid is criminal he wuold be doing 5-10 right now.
even now.... he flashed a gun at osmeone in a strip club altercation, but left before things got heated.
now, I'm not saying he isn't a problem child, but he has to cross a river and climb Mt. everest to be in the same Ballpark as Clarett.
Maurice clarett if you don't remember, is in jail for weapon trafficking, among other things
Tank Johnson was caught with enough ammo in his house to start WW3
Pac man gets in trouble when he goes to strip clubs.... not really of the same significance.. however when it happens once ever month.
when you have been arrested more times than you have put on an NFL uniform.. when you have a 1:1 ratio, that's not good
"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.
