"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.

Its on, October 2nd.

Thoughts and opinions?

This should be a classic! Or at least on paper and have a huge lead up of hype!

I think Roy is past it, he has not looked impressive for years, Tarver on the other hand, started later, and seems to just be peaking now.

I will take Tarver by another brutal KO. Roy has lost his speed, timing, confidence and mind by the looks of it. He is in no physical or mental shape to beat a dangerous, well schooled, powerful fighter like Antonio Tarver. That being said however, I really hope Roy can pull something out of the hat and win this fight.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I don't like RJJ. He is annoyingly ****y. Muhammed Ali was popular because he was ****y & funny. Ali was acting ****y to be a performer/crowd pleaser. Roy Jones is just arrogant.

Tarver by KO.
 

"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.

I usually do not make judgements against people. It's just that I have seen a few fights were he humiliated opponents (dropping hands), who he was ranked way higher than. It is one thing to drop your hands against opponents who have a chance of knocking you out, and it is another thing to drop your hands on an opponent whos vegas odds of winning are 200:1. To me, that isn't showmanship, that is arrogance.

No way, that is pure showmanship! It is awesome to see him do that, like against Glen Kelly, when he did the chicken dance, put his hands behind his back, and then knocked him down and "out" on the counter!

Although, I do see what you mean, and it would be easy to perceive him as arrogant. I just felt like a debate :) And pointing out the fact that EVERYONE who has met him in person says his one of the nicest guys you could ever meet!

It is amazing how people love underdogs. That is the first time Roy will be an underdog, or at least convincingly, so everyone is rooting for him as the emotional favorite. He has been humbled, and is not as arrogant during his HBO commentaries as he was before.

People have a new image of Roy Jones; but when it really comes down to it, it will just be Jones and Antonio Tarver in there, and that's where Tarver will take charge.

Expect an outcome somewhere between both fights, Tarver dominating, but probably not a huge, brutal KO, because Jones will use his bike and his speed to avoid the KO.

yeah i cant predict this one yet.... but I agree with you Clooney. Roy is not arrogant and the fact that he does those taunts is pure showmanship.

By doing dangerous things like putting his hands behind his head he is giving his lesser opponent a chance. I think that takes a lot of balls.
 

"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.

It wasn’t entirely the dropping of the hands that made me think he was arrogant. It was mainly his post fight interview.

(I can’t remember which fight it was, or when it was, so the following quote is paraphrased from my own recollection)

After his victory against some unknown fighter, RJJ goes on camera and starts saying things like “He isn’t even a has been, he is a never was & and a never will be!” "That guy had absolutely no business being in the ring with Roy Jones", etc.

To me, it made him look very bad. The other fighter had a better chance of winning the lottery than the fight. Why the need to humiliate him? In fights like this one, dropping the hands is disrespecting the other opponent, not placing himself in harms way. Other fighters have dropped their hands, but it was done to awe the crowd.

If you drop your hands against a fighter who odds makers say is ranked higher than you: that takes balls. If you drop your hands against an opponent who admitted before the fight that he probably wouldn’t win, but that he would at least give it his all: that takes no class.

Oh yes, I forgot... It is difficult to tell when someone is being factitious in written text (re: hot or not). It probably makes it even more difficult to tell when you are a moron.

Wack off....

jackass.
