"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.

"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.

It was a good fight. Manny landed hella clean punches. Horn was agressive. But the judges must have been on crack.
On the bright side, glad I didn't have to see that on Pay-Per-View.
Boxing on ESPN is lit.

Compubox stats showed that Pacquiao landed 182 out of 573 punches thrown (32%), whilst Horn landed 92 of 625 thrown (15%)

I mean outside the third and ninth Manny wasn't a clear winner of anything

Bible Belt's stats say otherwise.
It was a hometown win by Horn. Him winning helps boxing more. And I think the judges were counting headbutts for him, which were responsible for most of Pacquaio's bleeding.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I agree Horn had heart, but it looked to me that it was mainly the headbutting when he hurt Pacquaio.
"Hurt" is subjective though. Punch stats less so.
It's true Pacquaio couldn't seal the deal in the 9th, but Horn was never close to knocking him out.
I don't see how you can say Horn hurt Pacquaio, but not the other way around. Did you see Horn's face? Besides, the ref almost stopped the fight.
My dad used to say that if one guy is the champ, the other guy has to clearly take the belt from him. If it's a tossup, the champ will get the benefit of the doubt. He wasn't a boxer though. That certainly wasn't the case here.
Given your comments, I'm wondering what you think about Floyd Mayweather.
