"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.

Hey guys check this out -http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/cs-070215pippen,1,4206033.story?coll=cs-bulls-headlines

Yeah I know he's old, but I think he can make quite a difference comes Playoff times. I'm betting he's going to go where he can contribute right away and that would be back with Phil Jackson and the triangle offense. He would make a good effective point guard since L.A. pretty much runs a half court game anyways. Probably become more or less of a spot up shooter everytime Kobe gets double teamed. But you never know, never underestimate Pippen.
 

"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.

That would be nice, especially with the injuries the Lakers have been having.

Gimme a break. Pippen retired a few years ago because he wasn't good anymore, and he has been sitting on his a$$ for years now, and someone doesn't get better sitting on their ass, especially a 41 yr old. He couldn't make a huge difference now, because he couldn't when he retired.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I feel bad for him. He spent his entire career in Michael Jordan's shadow. Finally Jordan retired, but about that time, he started sucking. My guess is even if he played 25 minutes, he'd be lucky to average 8 per (pts).
