"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Who wins guys? Could be another very very close fight.

I think it really depends which Judah shows up, a very ready Judah or a skinny, underpreared Judah, much as he was for his last couple.

I will say Judah comes in prepared (although weight in pics will be very helpful in determining this), and takes a very close decision, possibly a split decision.

Thoughts?
 

"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.

Judah wins, awesome! I read somewhere that Judah only earned $100,000, to Spinks $1.2 million! If that is true, that is cheap! Judah has some HUGE fights ahead of him now, possibly a rematch with Tszyu for the undisputed welter title. Or maybe a fight with Oscar De La Hoya! Either way, Zab will be crushed IMHO. Just doesnt have the whiskers!

IMHO, that is one of the easiest fights to pick I have ever seen.

Tito will win that fight, most likely by KO. Winky has no lateral movement, nuff said.
 

"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.

How could you say this is an easy fight to predict?

Both of these boxers are superstars. I am probably going to pick Tito by KO because of his power. But Winky has been in there with Fernando Vargas, and Shane Mosley. He definitely can take a punch. I do think Tito might hit a littler harder than these guys, so thats why I can see the KO happening.

But to say this is easy come on..... This fight could go either way.

Winky is quick and in tremendous shape. If he is able to box Tito for 12 rounds, I can see him winning a decision.

Winky is fast, but no faster than Tito. Winky has a weak left jab, that will not affect Tito.

Tito hits a LOT harder than both Vargas and Mosley. Tito nearly took Vargas head off in their fight. Mosley was in his 4th division, Tito would have blown Mosley away as well. Not to mention, we have never seen Winky at Middle yet (although I dont think this will be a factor).

Why do I say it is easy to predict?

Who has beaten Tito? IMHO I think DLH did and we all know BHOP did. What did both these men do, both used lateral movement and superior speed and combination punching. Winky has very very poor lateral movement. He has tired in fights, and we all know Tito is a machine when it comes to fighting hard down the stretch. Winky has a solid and tight defence, but Tito will definately peirce it, especfially considering Winky will be standing right there infront of him all night long (and lets not kid ourselves, that jab is not going to push Tito off like it did Mosley).

Tito has faced several southpaws, so that is not a problem for him. Mosley himself has said he doesnt handle southpaws well. Tito has KOd every single southpaw he has faced.

But basically, styles make fights, and a stationary target is MADE for Tito. And in every single Winky fight, he has never used much lateral movement.

Wait and see, you should have put your money on Tito like I said!
