"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.
Please help me on bullying!!!!!

"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.

from the sounds of things he's not a very big guy, and he hasn't practiced any self defense...

You are a man, and a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do! I get in fights all the time cuz', as my friend said once, my nasty reputation takes me everywhere.
You do a lot of good things by fighting like... get ur reputation up, give them a lesson, gain self-confidence, increase ur testosterone, etc...
SO... Go out and kick their ases. Doesn't matter if they beat u the first time, cuz you'll find the way... make a small gang, surprise them alone one by one, on a beautifull dark night, or get a knife or gun and if not wound them at least scare them.

Actually, this might be funny. You say hes much bigger than you. Well say, "You seem to like picking on smaller guys. I bet you have an even smaller ****"dreamx said:

"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.

you did perfect, you insulted him and made him run out embarrassed and even his buddies thought bad of him.you even made it humorous.
do not take his crap. if he starts to give you crap, send it right back.
ever watch the longest yard? adam sandlers character goes right up to the baddest dude in prision and gets in a fight with him during his first lunch there. why? to prove he was not a sissy from day one.

AHHAAHAHAH that's the worst idea ever. Wrestling is SO Gay i mean you wear a tight spandex and grope each other all sweaty and sh*t and the more gayer the position more points you get. Heavy weight is the worst they grab each other until one of them "gives up" then they fall on each other and start dry humping each other. All the wrestlers get SO MUCH SH*T at school and NOONE comes to the meets. So doubleBerlex said:

)Ignoring it won't go away. Join a boxing gym and train hard for 2 months and i bet you'll be able to flatten them. Then when they start their bullying, give them a quick one-two to the face and it'll never happen again.
Took me a few years to figure this out through school, respect through fear is better than someone disrespecting you.
I was waiting for someone to make this comment. It's funny...there was one year when two ex-basketball players (they were cut) tried out for the wrestling team, they said the same thing before they tried out. Those guys didn't last a week of practice...they later took back their comment about wrestling.PeterNorthisawesome said:AHHAAHAHAH that's the worst idea ever.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

well you ahve to look at what "gay" is. we're all gay to a degree, its your man degree. guys who are all tough and badass and confident dj's are barely gay, the guys who are nerdy computer kids who like fat porn are kinda gay, the guys who look at chicks with ****s shemale porn are pretty gay, and the guys who like seeing six oiled guys going at it are totally gay.
now a healthy, ungay young man will still show affection for his male counterparts...the old snaptowelling in the lockerrooms, the ass slaps on the baseball and football fields etc, but are meant in petty sexual terms and are more affection, good job you crazy bastard kinda ways. guys who wrestle take it to a further extent, and for a few it may fall into a sexual form of agression, but for the most part wrestlers are testosterone driven workout loving confident dj types and are not gay.
man i spent way too much time on that. i shouldve gone out tonight lol.
